Matthew 17:10–27

¹⁰And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that ^pElias must first come? ¹¹And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and ^qrestore all things. ¹²But I say unto you, That ^pElias is come already, and they knew him not, but ^rhave done unto him whatsoever they ^slisted. Likewise shall also ^tthe Son of man suffer of them. ¹³Then the disciples understood ^pthat he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

^14uAnd when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, ^xkneeling down to him, and saying, ¹⁵Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is ^ylunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water. ¹⁶And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. ¹⁷Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and ^zperverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I ^asuffer you? bring him hither to me. ¹⁸And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour. ¹⁹Then came the disciples to Jesus ^bapart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? ²⁰And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: ^cfor verily I say unto you, ^dIf ye have faith as a ^egrain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto ^fthis mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be unpossible unto you. ²¹Howbeit this ^gkind goeth not out but by ^hprayer and ^hifasting.

^22kAnd while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, ^lThe Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men: ²³and they shall kill him, and ^llthe third day he shall be raised again. ^mAnd they were exceeding sorry.

²⁴ⁿAnd when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master ^opay tribute? ²⁵He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus ^pprevented him, saying, ^qWhat thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take ^rcustom or ^stribute? of their own children, or of strangers? ²⁶Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. ²⁷Notwithstanding, lest we should ^toffend them, go thou to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them ^ufor me and thee.
