And, behold, there appeared unto them and talking with him.

While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am pleased; hear ye him. And when the disciples heard it, they fell their face, and were sore afraid. And came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save only. And as they came down from the mountain, charged them, saying, Tell the to no man, until the be risen again from the dead. And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the that must first come? And answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.

Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. And while they abode in , said unto them, The shall be betrayed into the hands of men: And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry. And when they were come to , they that received came to , and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? saith unto him, Of strangers. saith unto him, Then are the children free. Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
