Matthew 17

1 After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.

1 六天后，耶稣带着彼得、雅各和雅各的兄弟约翰单独登上一座高山。

2 There He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.

2 耶稣在他们面前改变了形象，面貌如太阳一样发光，衣服洁白如光。

3 Suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared before them, talking with Jesus.

3 忽然，摩西和以利亚向他们显现，他们在跟耶稣谈话。

4 Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If You wish, I will put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

4 彼得对耶稣说：“主啊，我们在这里真好！如果你愿意，我就在这里搭三座帐篷，一座给你，一座给摩西，一座给以利亚。”

5 While Peter was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to Him!”

5 他正在说话的时候，一朵灿烂的云彩笼罩他们。云彩中有声音说：“这是我的爱子，我喜悦祂，你们要听从祂。”

6 When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown in terror.

6 门徒听见这声音，便俯伏在地，非常惧怕。

7 Then Jesus came over and touched them. “Get up,” He said. “Do not be afraid.”

7 耶稣就过来摸他们，说：“起来吧，别害怕。”

8 And when they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.

8 他们抬眼一看，只见耶稣一人。

9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Do not tell anyone about this vision until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”

9 下山时，耶稣叮嘱他们：“人子从死里复活以前，不要把刚才看见的告诉别人。”

10 The disciples asked Him, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

10 门徒问耶稣：“律法教师为什么说以利亚必须先来？”

11 Jesus replied, “Elijah does indeed come, and he will restore all things.

11 耶稣回答说：“以利亚的确要来，他将复兴一切。

12 But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him whatever they wished. In the same way, the Son of Man will suffer at their hands.”

12 但我告诉你们，以利亚已经来了，人们却不认识他，甚至还任意对待他。人子同样也会在他们手下受苦。”

13 Then the disciples understood that He was speaking to them about John the Baptist.

13 门徒这才明白耶稣所说的是指施洗者约翰。

14 When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus and knelt before Him.

14 他们来到山下众人聚集的地方。有一个人过来跪在耶稣跟前，说：

15 “Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said. “He has seizures and is suffering terribly. He often falls into the fire or into the water.

15 “主啊！救救我的儿子吧！他患了癫痫，痛苦极了，经常跌进火中，掉进水里。

16 I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not heal him.”

16 我带他去见你的门徒，但他们不能医治他。”

17 “O unbelieving and perverse generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy here to Me.”

17 耶稣说：“唉！这又不信又败坏的世代啊，我要跟你们在一起待多久？我要容忍你们多久呢？把他带到我这里来吧。”

18 Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment.

18 耶稣斥责附在孩子身上的鬼，鬼就离开了那孩子，他立刻就好了。

19 Afterward the disciples came to Jesus privately and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

19 事后，门徒私下问耶稣：“我们为什么赶不走那鬼呢？”

20 “Because you have so little faith,” He answered. “For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

20 耶稣说：“你们的信心太小了。我实在告诉你们，你们若有像芥菜种那样大的信心，就算叫这座山从这里移到那里，它也会移开，你们将没有办不到的事。

21

21 至于这一类的鬼，你们必须祷告和禁食才能把它赶走。”

22 When they gathered together in Galilee, Jesus told them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.

22 他们聚集在加利利的时候，耶稣对他们说：“人子将被交在人手中。

23 They will kill Him, and on the third day He will be raised to life.” And the disciples were deeply grieved.

23 他们将杀害祂，第三天祂将复活。”门徒听了，十分忧愁。

24 After they had arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax came to Peter and asked, “Does your Teacher pay the two drachmas?”

24 他们来到迦百农，有几个收圣殿税的来问彼得：“你们的老师不纳圣殿税吗？”

25 “Yes,” he answered. When Peter entered the house, Jesus preempted him. “What do you think, Simon?” He asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs and taxes: from their own sons, or from others?”

25 彼得说：“纳！”他进了屋，还没开口，耶稣便问他：“西门，你有何看法？世上的君王向谁征收赋税？向自己的儿子呢，还是向外人呢？”

26 “From others,” Peter answered. “Then the sons are exempt,” Jesus said to him.

26 彼得答道：“向外人。” 耶稣说：“所以儿子不用纳税。

27 “But so that we may not offend them, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take the first fish you catch. When you open its mouth, you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for My tax and yours.”

27 但为了避免得罪这些人，你就去湖边钓鱼，把钓上来的第一条鱼的嘴打开，里面有一个钱币，拿它去缴你我的税好了。”
