Okufuusibwa kwa Yesu
1Oluvannyuma lw’ennaku mukaaga Yesu n’atwala Peetero, ne Yakobo ne Yokaana muganda we, n’abalinnyisa ku lusozi oluwanvu. 2N’afuusibwa nga balaba, amaaso ge ne gamasamasa ng’enjuba n’ebyambalo bye ne byeruka ne byakaayakana. 3Laba Musa ne Eriya ne balabika, ne boogera ne Yesu.
4Peetero n’agamba Yesu nti, “Mukama waffe, nga kya kitalo nnyo ffe okubeera wano! Bw’oba ng’osiimye, nzimbe wano ensiisira ssatu, emu yiyo endala ya Musa n’endala ya Eriya.”
517:5 a Mat 3:17; 2Pe 1:17 b Bik 3:22, 23Bwe yali akyayogera ebyo ekire ekimasamasa ne kiva waggulu ne kibabuutikira eddoboozi ne liva mu kire ne ligamba nti, “Ono ye Mwana wange gwe njagala ennyo, era gwe nsanyukira ennyo. Mumuwulirenga.”
6Abayigirizwa bwe baakiwulira ne bagwa wansi ne beevuunika nga batidde nnyo. 717:7 Mat 14:27Yesu n’ajja gye bali n’abakwatako n’abagamba nti, “Mugolokoke temutya.” 8Bwe babbulula amaaso, baalabawo Yesu yekka!
917:9 a Mak 8:30 b Mat 8:20 c Mat 16:21Bwe baali baserengeta olusozi, Yesu n’abakuutira nti, “Ebyo bye mulabye temubibuulirako omuntu n’omu okutuusa Omwana w’Omuntu lw’alimala okuzuukira mu bafu.”
10Abayigirizwa ne bamubuuza nti, “Kale lwaki abannyonnyozi b’amateeka bagamba nti, Eriya kimugwanira okumala okujja?”
1117:11 Mal 4:6; Luk 1:16, 17Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Weewaawo, Eriya alijja n’azzaawo ebintu byonna. 1217:12 a Mat 11:14 b Mat 14:3, 10 c Mat 16:21Naye mbagamba nti, Eriya yajja dda, naye tebaamutegeera, era naye ne bamukola buli kye baayagala. Bw’atyo n’Omwana w’Omuntu anaatera okubonyaabonyezebwa.” 13Awo abayigirizwa be ne bategeera nti yali ayogera ku Yokaana Omubatiza.
Omusimbu Awonyezebwa
14Awo bwe yatuuka awaali ekibiina, omusajja n’ajja gy’ali n’afukamira we yali, n’amugamba nti, 1517:15 Mat 4:24“Mukama wange, ssaasira mutabani wange, kubanga mulwadde agwa ensimbu, era zimubonyaabonya nnyo kubanga emirundi mingi zimusuula mu muliro ne mu mazzi. 16Bwe namuleese eri abayigirizwa bo tebasobodde kumuwonya.”
17Yesu n’addamu nti, “Mmwe omulembe ogutalina kukkiriza omubi. Ndituusa ddi okubeera nammwe? Ndibagumiikiriza kutuusa ddi? Kale mumundeetere wano.” 18Yesu n’aboggolera dayimooni, n’ava ku mulenzi, omulenzi n’awona mu kiseera ekyo.
19Awo oluvannyuma abayigirizwa ne bajja eri Yesu mu kyama ne bamubuuza nti, “Lwaki ffe tetwasobodde kugoba dayimooni oyo?”
2017:20 a Mat 21:21 b Mat 13:31; Mak 11:23; Luk 17:6 c 1Ko 13:2Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Olw’okukkiriza kwammwe okutono. Kubanga ddala ddala mbagamba nti, bwe muba n’okukkiriza okufaanana ng’akaweke ka kaladaali, mwandiyinzizza okugamba olusozi luno nti, ‘Vvaawo wano,’ era ne luvaawo era tewandibaddewo kye mulemwa. 21Naye kyokka dayimooni ow’engeri eno tagobeka awatali kusaba na kusiiba.”
2217:22 Mat 8:20Ne bakuŋŋaanira mu Ggaliraaya, Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Omwana w’Omuntu anaatera okuliibwamu olukwe aweebweyo mu mikono gy’abantu 2317:23 a Bik 2:23; 3:13 b Mat 16:21 c Mat 16:21abalimutta, kyokka ku lunaku olwokusatu alizuukizibwa.” Abayigirizwa be ne banakuwala nnyo.
Omusolo gwa Yeekaalu
2417:24 Kuv 30:13Bwe baatuuka e Kaperunawumu abasolooza b’omusolo gwa Yeekaalu babiri ne bajja eri Peetero ne bamubuuza nti, “Mukama wammwe tawa musolo?”
2517:25 Mat 22:17-21; Bar 13:7Peetero n’abaddamu nti, “Awa!”
Peetero n’ayingira mu nnyumba. Naye Yesu n’amwesooka n’amubuuza nti, “Olowooza otya Simooni, bakabaka b’ensi basolooza omusolo ku bantu baabwe abatuuze oba ku bannamawanga be baba bawangudde?”
26Peetero n’addamu nti, “Basolooza ku bannamawanga.”
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Kale bannansi bo ba ddembe.” 2717:27 Yk 6:61“Naye obutabanyiiza, genda ku nnyanja osuulemu eddobo, ekyennyanja ky’onoosooka okukwasa okyasamye akamwa. Mu kamwa kaakyo onoolabamu esutateri,17:27 Esutateri ze nnusu nnya ozitwale oziweeyo osasule omusolo gwange n’ogugwo.”
The transfiguration
1After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. 3Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.
4Peter 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.’
5While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, ‘This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!’
6When the disciples heard this, they fell face down to the ground, terrified. 7But Jesus came and touched them. ‘Get up,’ he said. ‘Don’t be afraid.’ 8When they looked up, they saw no-one except Jesus.
9As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, ‘Don’t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.’
10The disciples asked him, ‘Why then do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?’
11Jesus replied, ‘To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things. 12But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognise him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.’ 13Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them about John the Baptist.
Jesus heals a demon-possessed boy
14When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him. 15‘Lord, have mercy on my son,’ he said. ‘He has seizures and is suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. 16I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.’
17‘You unbelieving and perverse generation,’ Jesus replied, ‘how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me.’ 18Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment.
19Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, ‘Why couldn’t we drive it out?’
20He replied, ‘Because you have so little faith. 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.’ 2117:21 Some manuscripts include here words similar to Mark 9:29.
Jesus predicts his death a second time
22When they came together in Galilee, he said to them, ‘The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men. 23They will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised to life.’ And the disciples were filled with grief.
The temple tax
24After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma temple tax came to Peter and asked, ‘Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?’
25‘Yes, he does,’ he replied.
When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. ‘What do you think, Simon?’ he asked. ‘From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes – from their own children or from others?’
26‘From others,’ Peter answered.
‘Then the children are exempt,’ Jesus said to him. 27‘But so that we may not cause offence, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours.’
