[1]And after sixe daies Jhesus took Petre, and James, and Joon, his brother, and ledde hem aside in to an hiy hil, [1]And after six days, Jesus took Peter, and James, and John his brother, and brought them up into an high mountain apart,
[2]and was turned in to an othir licnesse bifor hem. And his face schone as the sunne; and hise clothis weren maad white as snowe. [2]And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his clothes were as white as the light.
[3]And lo! Moises and Elie apperiden to hem, and spaken with hym. [3]And behold, there appeared unto them Moses, and Elijah, talking with him.
[4]And Petre answeride, and seide to Jhesu, Lord, it is good vs to be here. If thou wolt, make we here thre tabernaclis; to thee oon, to Moises oon, and oon to Elye. Yit the while he spak, lo! [4]Then answered Peter, and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
[5]a briyt cloude ouerschadewide hem; and lo! a voice out of the cloude, that seide, This is my dereworth sone, in whom Y haue wel pleside to me; here ye hym. [5]While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud shadowed them: and behold, there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear him.
[6]And the disciplis herden, and felden doun on her faces, and dredden greetli. [6]And when the disciples heard that, they fell on their faces and were sore afraid.
[7]And Jhesus cam, and touchide hem, and seide to hem, Rise vp, and nyle ye drede. [7]Then Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
[8]And thei liften vp her iyen, and saien no man, but Jhesu aloone. [8]And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
[9]And as thei camen doun of the hille, Jhesus comaundide to hem, and seide, Seie ye to no man the visioun, til mannus sone rise ayen fro deeth. [9]And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Show the vision to no man, until the Son of man rise again from the dead.
[10]And his disciplis axiden hym, and seiden, What thanne seien the scribis, that it bihoueth that Elie come first? [10]And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the Scribes that Elijah must first come?
[11]He answeride, and seide to hem, Elie schal come, and he schal restore alle thingis. [11]And Jesus answered, and said unto them, Certainly Elijah must first come, and restore all things.
[12]And Y seie to you, that Elie is nowe comun, and thei knewen hym not, but thei diden in him what euer thingis thei wolden; and so mannus sone schal suffre of hem. [12]But I say unto you, that Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they would: likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
[13]Thanne the disciplis vndurstoden, that he seide to hem of Joon Baptist. [13]Then the disciples perceived that he spake unto them of John Baptist.
[14]And whanne he cam to the puple, a man cam to hym, and felde doun on hise knees bifor hym, and seide, [14]And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, and kneeled down to him.
[15]Lord, haue merci on my sone; for he is lunatike, and suffrith yuele, for ofte tymes he fallith in to the fier, and ofte tymes in to water. [15]And said, Master, have pity on my son: for he is lunatic, and is sore vexed: for oft times he falleth into the fire, and oft times into the water.
[16]And Y brouyte hym to thi disciplis, and thei myyten not heele hym. [16]And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not heal him.
[17]Jhesus answeride, and seide, A! thou generacion vnbileueful and weiward; hou long schal Y be with you? hou long schal Y suffre you? Brynge ye hym hider to me. [17]Then Jesus answered, and said, O generation, faithless, and crooked, how long now shall I be with you! how long now shall I suffer you! bring him thither to me.
[18]And Jhesus blamede hym, and the deuel wente out fro hym; and the child was heelid fro that our. [18]And Jesus rebuked the devil, and he went out of him: and the child was healed at that hour.
[19]Thanne the disciplis camen to Jhesu priueli, and seiden to hym, Whi myyten not we caste hym out? [19]Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
[20]Jhesus seith to hem, For youre vnbileue. Treuli Y seie to you, if ye han feith, as a corn of seneueye, ye schulen seie to this hil, Passe thou hennus, and it schal passe; and no thing schal be vnpossible to you; [20]And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for Verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as much as is a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove: and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
[21]but this kynde is not caste out, but bi preiyng and fastyng. [21]Howbeit this kind goeth not out, but by prayer and fasting.
[22]And whilis thei weren abidynge togidere in Galilee, Jhesus seide to hem, Mannus sone schal be bitraied in to the hondis of men; [22]And as they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men,
[23]and thei schulen sle hym, and the thridde day he schal rise ayen to lijf. [23]And they shall kill him, but the third day shall he rise again: and they were very sorry.
[24]And thei weren ful sori. And whanne thei camen to Cafarnaum, thei that token tribute, camen to Petre, and seiden to hym, Youre maister payeth not tribute? [24]And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received poll money, came to Peter, and said, Doth not your Master pay tribute?
[25]And he seide, Yhis. And whanne he was comen in to the hous, Jhesus cam bifor hym, and seide, Symount, what semeth to thee? Kyngis of erthe, of whom taken thei tribute? of her sones, ether of aliens? [25]He said, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? Of whom do the Kings of the earth take tribute, or poll money? of their children, or of strangers?
[26]And he seide, Of aliens. Jhesus seide to hym, Thanne sones ben fre. [26]Peter said unto him, Of strangers. Then said Jesus unto him, Then are the children free.
[27]But that we sclaundre hem not, go to the see, and caste an hook, and take thilke fisch that first cometh vp; and, whanne his mouth is opened, thou schalt fynde a stater, and yyue for thee and for me. [27]Nevertheless, lest we should offend them: go to the sea, and cast in an angle, and take the first fish that cometh up, and when you hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of twenty pence: that take, and give it unto them for me and thee.
