Lesson written by Nick Angel

MATTHEW CHAPTER 17

1. Can you find any other times when Jesus takes Peter, James, and John to a place apart from the rest of the disciples?  Do you think there is any significance?

 

2. (vv. 1-13) What is exactly meant by the ‘transfiguration’ of Jesus?  What is its significance? What was wrong with what Peter said?  What do we learn from what God said?  How had Elijah already come?

 

 

 

 

3. (vv. 14-21) Why had the disciples failed to heal the boy of the demon?  What does Jesus get so frustrated?  What is meant by them being able to move mountains with faith only the size of the tiny mustard seed?

 

 

 

 

4. (vv. 22-23) What makes this foretelling of Christ's death different from the first in the previous chapter?

 

 

5. (vv.24-27) What is the underlying message Jesus is revealing to Peter with what says concerning the taxes?  Why and how does he end up paying the tax?
