The New Gospel According to Saint Matthew: Matthew 17
17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Eleonora, James, and John his
brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 17:2 And
was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and
his raiment was white as the light.
17:3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and John the Baptist talking with him.
17:4 Then answered Eleonora, 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 John the Baptist.
17:5 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, for he is you and you are him.
17:6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and
were sore afraid.
17:7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not
afraid.
17:8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one, save
Jesus only.
17:9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them,
saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of God be risen again
from the dead.
17:10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes
that Elijah must first come back in this world? 17:11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elijah must truly first come, and restore all things.
17:12 But I say unto you, That Elijah 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, and they knew him not.
17:13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John
the Baptist, Gilgulei Ha Neshamot.
17:14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a
certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying, 17:15 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.
17:16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
17:17 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. And how many generations of faithless and perverse souls shall i suffer for? Father, my spirit weakens and ye forsake me at my darkest hour that is to come, surrounded by these demons, vultures, thieves, and the people that follow me shall betray me, as it has happened before many times throughout world history, this world that is evil. And you giveth the devil full control over this realm, and the devils and the satyrs inflict misery upon the children of men, and the paradise that Adam was cast out of, only few souls return back to it.
17:18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him and sent it to hell: and the child was cured from that very hour.
17:19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not
we cast him out? 17:20 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.
17:21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
17:22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son
of man shall be betrayed into the hands of evil men: 17:23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And the son of man shall come back as a man, or a woman, or whichever form God sees fit for this world, because the soul of the most righteous is sent back in this world for the benefit of the world and each generation.
And they were exceeding sorry.
17:24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Eleonora, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
17:25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus
prevented her, saying, What thinkest thou, Eleonora? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of
strangers? 17:26 Eleonora saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
17:27 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.
