Matthew 17 (KJV) Read Aloud | Daily Bible Reading
@sovereignlogos·October 3, 2026
Matthew 17 is a pivotal chapter that details the Transfiguration of Jesus, an event where Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up a high mountain. There, Jesus is transfigured, his face shining like the sun and his garments becoming as white as the light. Moses and Elias appear and converse with him. Peter suggests building three tabernacles for Jesus, Moses, and Elias. A bright cloud overshadows them, and a voice from the cloud declares, 'This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.' The disciples are struck with fear, but Jesus reassures them, saying, 'Arise, and be not afraid.' As they descend, Jesus instructs them to keep the vision secret until 'the Son of man be risen again from the dead.' This chapter also includes Jesus's healing of a boy described as 'lunatick' and 'sore vexed,' after the disciples failed to cure him. Jesus rebukes the 'faithless and perverse generation' before performing the miracle. The chapter highlights Jesus's teachings and healing power, and his relationship with his disciples and John the Baptist.
