Matthew Chapter 17 KJV
King James Version, Holy Bible
- 1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
- 2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
- 3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
- 4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, 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 Elias.
- 5 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 well pleased; hear ye him.
- 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
Matthew Chapter 17 (New Testament)
- 7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
- 8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
- 9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
- 10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
- 11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
- 12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
Matthew Chapter 17 (New Testament)
- 13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
- 14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
- 15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
- 16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
- 17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
- 18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
- 19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
- 20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as 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 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
- 22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
- 23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
- 24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
- 25 He saith, 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 custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
- 26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
- 27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an 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 for me and thee.
Matthew Chapter 17
Quote: "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." - Matthew 17:20b (NIV)
Verse: "Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." - Matthew 17:20 (NIV)
Lesson: In Matthew 17, Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up a mountain where he is transfigured before them. The disciples are in awe and want to stay on the mountain, but Jesus tells them they must come down and continue their work. When they come across a demon-possessed boy, the disciples are unable to drive out the demon. Jesus rebukes them for their lack of faith and then drives out the demon himself. The lesson we can learn from this chapter is that even with just a small amount of faith, we can accomplish great things through God's power.
Conclusion: As Christians, it is important for us to have faith in God's power and to trust in Him to accomplish great things in and through us. Even when we face challenges or obstacles, we can have confidence that God will provide a way for us to overcome them if we put our trust in Him.
Prayer points:
l Pray for an increase in faith and trust in God's power in your life.
l Ask God to help you overcome any doubts or fears that may be holding you back from accomplishing great things for Him.
l Thank God for His faithfulness and for the ways He has provided for you in the past.
