¹After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.

¹Og seks Dage derefter tager Jesus Peter og Jakob og hans Broder Johannes med sig og fører dem afsides op på et højt Bjerg.

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

²Og han blev forvandlet for deres Øjne, og hans Åsyn skinnede som Solen, men hans Klæder bleve hvide som Lyset.

³Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.

³Og se, Moses og Elias viste sig for dem og samtalede med ham.

⁴Peter 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.”

⁴Da tog Peter til Orde og sagde til Jesus: "Herre! det er godt, at vi ere her; vil du, da lader os gøre tre Hytter her, dig en og Moses en og Elias en."

⁵While 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.”

⁵Medens han endnu talte, se, da overskyggede en lysende Sky dem; og se, der kom fra Skyen en Røst. som sagde: "Denne er min Søn. den elskede, i hvem jeg har Velbehag; hører ham!"

⁶When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.

⁶Og da Disciplene hørte det, faldt de på deres Ansigt og frygtede såre.

⁷Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up, and don’t be afraid.”

⁷Og Jesus trådte hen og rørte ved dem og sagde: "Står op, og frygter ikke!"

⁸Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.

⁸Men da de opløftede deres Øjne, så de ingen uden Jesus alene.

⁹As 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.”

⁹Og da de gik ned fra Bjerget, bød Jesus dem og sagde: "Taler ikke til nogen om dette Syn, førend Menneskesønnen er oprejst fra de døde."

¹⁰His disciples asked him, saying, “Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

¹⁰Og hans Disciple spurgte ham og sagde: "Hvad er det da, de skriftkloge sige, at Elias bør først komme?"

¹¹Jesus answered them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all things,

¹¹Og han svarede og sagde: "Vel kommer Elias og skal genoprette alting.

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.”

¹²Men jeg siger eder, at Elias er allerede kommen, og de erkendte ham ikke, men gjorde med ham alt, hvad de vilde; således skal også Menneskesønnen lide ondt af dem."

¹³Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptizer.

¹³Da forstode Disciplene, at han havde talt til dem om Johannes Døberen.

¹⁴When they came to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling down to him, saying,

¹⁴Og da de kom til Folkeskaren, kom en Mand til ham og faldt på Knæ for ham og sagde:

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.

¹⁵"Herre! forbarm dig over min Søn, thi han er månesyg og lidende; thi han falder ofte i Ild og ofte i Vand;

¹⁶So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him.”

¹⁶og jeg bragte ham til dine Disciple, og de kunde ikke helbrede ham."

¹⁷Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation! How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me.”

¹⁷Og Jesus svarede og sagde: "O du vantro og forvendte Slægt! hvor længe skal jeg være hos eder, hvor længe skal jeg tåle eder? Bringer mig ham hid!"

¹⁸Jesus rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.

¹⁸Og Jesus talte ham hårdt til, og den onde Ånd for ud af ham, og Drengen blev helbredt fra samme Time.

¹⁹Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why weren’t we able to cast it out?”

¹⁹Da gik Disciplene til Jesus afsides og sagde: "Hvorfor kunde vi ikke uddrive den?"

²⁰He 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.

²⁰Og han siger til dem: "For eders Vantros Skyld; thi sandelig, siger jeg eder, dersom I have Tro som et Sennepskorn, da kunne I sige til dette Bjerg: Flyt dig herfra derhen, så skal det flytte sig, og intet skal være eder umuligt.

²¹ But this kind doesn’t go out except by prayer and fasting.”

²¹Men denne Slags farer ikke ud uden ved Bøn og Faste."

²²While they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,

²²Og medens de vandrede sammen i Galilæa, sagde Jesus til dem: "Menneskesønnen skal overgives i Menneskers Hænder;

²³ and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up.” They were exceedingly sorry.

²³og de skulle slå ham ihjel, og på den tredje Dag skal han oprejses." Og de bleve såre bedrøvede.

²⁴When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins A didrachma is a Greek silver coin worth 2 drachmas, about as much as 2 Roman denarii, or about 2 days’ wages. It was commonly used to pay the half-shekel temple tax, because 2 drachmas were worth one half shekel of silver. came to Peter, and said, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the didrachma?”

²⁴Men da de kom til Kapernaum, kom de, som opkrævede Tempelskatten, til Peter og sagde: "Betaler eders Mester ikke Skatten?"

²⁵He 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?”

²⁵Han sagde: "Jo." Og da han kom ind i Huset, kom Jesus ham i Forkøbet og sagde: "Hvad tykkes dig, Simon? Af hvem tage Jordens Konger Told eller Skat, af deres egne Sønner eller af de fremmede?"

²⁶Peter said to him, “From strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Therefore the children are exempt.

²⁶Og da han sagde: "Af de fremmede," sagde Jesus til ham: "Så ere jo Sønnerne fri.

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. A stater is a silver coin equivalent to four Attic or two Alexandrian drachmas, or a Jewish shekel: just exactly enough to cover the half-shekel temple tax for two people. Take that, and give it to them for me and you.”

²⁷Men for at vi ikke skulle forarge dem, så gå hen til Søen, kast en Krog ud, og tag den første Fisk, som kommer op; og når du åbner dens Mund, skal du finde en Stater; tag denne, og giv dem den for mig og dig!"
