V1 Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John.[1] Luke says about 8 days,[2] |
Jerome and tradition sees the Mountain as Tabor. 2 Peter 1:18 calls the mount "holy".[3] Because Tabor was occupied with a city and a fortress it does not seem a likely choice for prayer and the event. Others suspect Hermon which has been called "The Chief Mountain" which is near Cesarea Philippi and because Mark 9:30-42 suggests the return was through Galilee, and then came to Capernaum. |

What is fishy about this story? |
In the New Testament there three different words translated "tribute" which include phoros (φόρος)[8], kensos (κeνσος)[9] and didrachmon (δίδραχμον).[10] |
In the bondage of Egypt the people were under tribute.[7] They were to never go back there again. They often did. They had to eat at the table of the Pharoah which by consent gave his government the right to take 20% of their labor. |
The Corban of the Pharisees which should have been for their welfare but was a snare was bringing them back into bondage. |
It was one of those covetous practices that depend on men who exercise authority one over the other. It was making them merchandise because it entangled them in the yoke of bondage and would curse children. It would also subject the masses to the Fathers of the earth. |

The only solution or salvation is to repent and seek the kingdom of God and His rightiousness. That includes the practice of Pure Religion instead of the covetous practices of the world. |
Corban of the Temples was a social welfare system. It included registration and even a form of Rabbinical Baptism that at least started back at Sinai. Herod and the Pharisees set this new welfare system of free bread to provide for the widows and orphans and needy of society. Moses and Abraham had set altars of clay and stone but now by consent and registration the people became obligated to pay into that treasury. This was not Pure Religion because i t had a different means and method which was not freewill offerings or charity but forced offerings. It was also a snare and a trap that made the word of God to none effect and the people merchandise back in the bondage of Egypt that would require of its members a tribute.[11] |
The Transfiguration
[1] And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother[1], and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
[2] And was transfigured[12] 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.
[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.
Elijah first
[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.
[13] Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
Jesus Heals a Boy with a Demon
[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[13] 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[14]: 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[15]: 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[16].[17]
Jesus Again Foretells Death, Resurrection
[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.[18]
The Temple Tax
[24] And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute[10] money[7] came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?[10]
[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[19] or tribute?(kensos)[9] 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.

There were taxes on axles, wheels, pack-animals, pedestrians, roads, highways; on admission to markets; on carriers, bridges, ships, and quays; on crossing rivers, on dams, on licenses, in short, on such a variety of objects, that even the research of modern scholars has not been able to identify all the names." Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, By Alfred Edersheim, Chapter III.
- "The annual Temple-tribute was allowed to be transported to Jerusalem, and the alienation of these funds by the civil magistrates treated as sacrilege. As the Jews objected to bear arms, or march, on the Sabbath, they were freed from military service. On similar grounds, they were not obliged to appear in courts of law on their holy days. Augustus even ordered that, when the public distribution of corn or of money among the citizens fell on a Sabbath, the Jews were to receive their share on the following day. In a similar spirit the Roman authorities confirmed a decree by which the founder of Antioch, Seleucus I. (Nicator),[d Ob.280 B.C.] had granted the Jews the right of citizenship in all the cities of Asia Minor and Syria which he had built, and the privilege of receiving, instead of the oil that was distributed, which their religion forbade them to use, [e Ab. Sar ii. 6] an equivalent in money. [Josephus Ant. xii. 3. 1] These rights were maintained by Vespasian and Titus even after the last Jewish war, not with standing the earnest remonstrances of these cities. No wonder, that at the death of Caesar [g 44 B.C.] the Jews of Rome gathered for many nights, waking strange feelings of awe in the city, as they chanted in mournful melodies their Psalms around the pyre on which the body of their benefactor had been burnt, and raised their pathetic dirges."
