Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Και μεθ' ημέρας εξ παραλαμβάνει Ιησούς τον Πέτρον και Ιάκωβον και Ιωάννην τον αδελφόν αυτού και αναβιβάζει αυτούς εις όρος υψηλόν κατ' ιδίαν·
1 After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.
2 και μετεμορφώθη έμπροσθεν αυτών, και έλαμψε το πρόσωπον αυτού ως ο ήλιος, τα δε ιμάτια αυτού έγειναν λευκά ως το φως.
2 He was changed before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.
3 Και ιδού, εφάνησαν εις αυτούς Μωϋσής και Ηλίας συλλαλούντες μετ' αυτού.
3 Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.
4 Αποκριθείς δε ο Πέτρος είπε προς τον Ιησούν· Κύριε, καλόν είναι να ήμεθα εδώ· εάν θέλης, ας κάμωμεν εδώ τρεις σκηνάς, διά σε μίαν και διά τον Μωϋσήν μίαν και μίαν διά τον Ηλίαν.
4 Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let’s make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
5 Ενώ αυτός ελάλει έτι, ιδού, νεφέλη φωτεινή επεσκίασεν αυτούς, και ιδού, φωνή εκ της νεφέλης λέγουσα· Ούτος είναι ο Υιός μου ο αγαπητός, εις τον οποίον ευηρεστήθην· αυτού ακούετε.
5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.”
6 Και ακούσαντες οι μαθηταί έπεσον κατά πρόσωπον αυτών και εφοβήθησαν σφόδρα.
6 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
7 Και προσελθών ο Ιησούς επίασεν αυτούς και είπεν· Εγέρθητε και μη φοβείσθε.
7 Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up, and don’t be afraid.”
8 Υψώσαντες δε τους οφθαλμούς αυτών, δεν είδον ουδένα ειμή τον Ιησούν μόνον.
8 Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.
9 Και ενώ κατέβαινον από του όρους, παρήγγειλεν εις αυτούς ο Ιησούς, λέγων· Μη είπητε προς μηδένα το όραμα, εωσού ο Υιός του ανθρώπου αναστηθή εκ νεκρών.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Don’t tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.”
10 Και ηρώτησαν αυτόν οι μαθηταί αυτού, λέγοντες· Διά τι λοιπόν λέγουσιν οι γραμματείς ότι πρέπει να έλθη ο Ηλίας πρώτον;
10 His disciples asked him, saying, “Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
11 Ο δε Ιησούς αποκριθείς είπε προς αυτούς· Ο Ηλίας μεν έρχεται πρώτον και θέλει αποκαταστήσει πάντα·
11 Jesus answered them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all things;
12 σας λέγω όμως ότι ήλθεν ήδη ο Ηλίας, και δεν εγνώρισαν αυτόν, αλλ' έπραξαν εις αυτόν όσα ηθέλησαν· ούτω και ο Υιός του ανθρώπου μέλλει να πάθη υπ' αυτών.
12 but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they didn’t recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them.”
13 Τότε ενόησαν οι μαθηταί, ότι περί Ιωάννου του Βαπτιστού είπε προς αυτούς.
13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptizer.
14 Και ότε ήλθον προς τον όχλον, επλησίασεν εις αυτόν άνθρωπός τις γονυπετών εις αυτόν και λέγων·
14 When they came to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling down to him and saying,
15 Κύριε, ελέησόν μου τον υιόν, διότι σεληνιάζεται και κακώς πάσχει· διότι πολλάκις πίπτει εις το πυρ και πολλάκις εις το ύδωρ.
15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic and suffers grievously; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.
16 Και έφερα αυτόν προς τους μαθητάς σου, αλλά δεν ηδυνήθησαν να θεραπεύσωσιν αυτόν.
16 So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him.”
17 Αποκριθείς δε ο Ιησούς είπεν· Ω γενεά άπιστος και διεστραμμένη, έως πότε θέλω είσθαι μεθ' υμών; έως πότε θέλω υποφέρει υμάς; φέρετέ μοι αυτόν εδώ.
17 Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation! How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me.”
18 Και επετίμησεν αυτόν ο Ιησούς, και εξήλθεν απ' αυτού το δαιμόνιον και εθεραπεύθη το παιδίον από της ώρας εκείνης.
18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
19 Τότε προσελθόντες οι μαθηταί προς τον Ιησούν κατ' ιδίαν, είπον· Διά τι ημείς δεν ηδυνήθημεν να εκβάλωμεν αυτό;
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why weren’t we able to cast it out?”
20 Ο δε Ιησούς είπε προς αυτούς· Διά την απιστίαν σας. Διότι αληθώς σας λέγω, Εάν έχητε πίστιν ως κόκκον σινάπεως, θέλετε ειπεί προς το όρος τούτο, Μετάβηθι εντεύθεν εκεί, και θέλει μεταβή· και δεν θέλει είσθαι ουδέν αδύνατον εις εσάς.
20 He said to them, “Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
21 Τούτο δε το γένος δεν εξέρχεται, ειμή διά προσευχής και νηστείας.
21 But this kind doesn’t go out except by prayer and fasting.”
22 Και ενώ διέτριβον εν τη Γαλιλαία, είπε προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Μέλλει ο Υιός του ανθρώπου να παραδοθή εις χείρας ανθρώπων·
22 While they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
23 και θέλουσι θανατώσει αυτόν, και την τρίτην ημέραν θέλει αναστηθή. Και ελυπήθησαν σφόδρα.
23 and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up.” They were exceedingly sorry.
24 Ότε δε ήλθον εις την Καπερναούμ, προσήλθον προς τον Πέτρον οι λαμβάνοντες τα δίδραχμα και είπον· Ο διδάσκαλός σας δεν πληρόνει τα δίδραχμα;
24 When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins came to Peter, and said, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the didrachma?”
25 Λέγει, Ναι. Και ότε εισήλθεν εις την οικίαν, προέλαβεν αυτόν ο Ιησούς λέγων· Τι σοι φαίνεται, Σίμων; οι βασιλείς της γης από τίνων λαμβάνουσι φόρους ή δασμόν; από των υιών αυτών ή από των ξένων;
25 He said, “Yes.” When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from strangers?”
26 Λέγει προς αυτόν ο Πέτρος· Από των ξένων. Είπε προς αυτόν ο Ιησούς· Άρα ελεύθεροι είναι οι υιοί.
26 Peter said to him, “From strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Therefore the children are exempt.
27 Πλην διά να μη σκανδαλίσωμεν αυτούς, ύπαγε εις την θάλασσαν και ρίψον άγκιστρον και το πρώτον οψάριον, το οποίον αναβή, λάβε, και ανοίξας το στόμα αυτού θέλεις ευρεί στατήρα· εκείνον λαβών δος εις αυτούς δι' εμέ και σε.
27 But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
We must now look into and treat of that vision which the Lord showed on the mount. For it is this of which He had said, "Verily I say unto you, there be some standing here which shall not taste of death till they see the Son of Man in His Kingdom." Then began the passage which has just been …

Not then from the Scriptures did they know this, but the Scribes used to explain themselves, and this saying was reported abroad amongst the ignorant people; as about Christ also.

Again, five men are said to have been with the Lord when He obtained testimony from the Father,--namely, Peter, and James, and John, and Moses, and Elias.
Was it in that manner in which the voice came from the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son"? For that voice was uttered and passed away, began and ended.

Elsewhere, for example, He saith, "But lest we should offend them, cast an hook into the sea:" but here He saith, "Let them alone, they be blind leaders of the blind: and if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch." But these things His disciples said, not as grieving for those men only, but as being …
