Matthew 17: The transfigured Jesus has a summit with Moses and Elijah, then rebukes demons and taxes

Jesus takes His closest three apostles to a mountain-top where they witness his full divine glory expressed as His human soul shines through his skin and clothing.
Moses and Elijah show up to meet with Him as they discuss the coming crucifixion. Peter wants to make three shrines, one for each of them, but the Father interrupts to declare that the Son has fulfilled everything as is beloved; after which the 2 prophets are gone, leaving only Jesus.
They return to the base of the mountain where the remaining disciples are unable to cast out a particularly viscous demon. Jesus rebukes their lack of faith and easily dispatches the entity.
He once again declares his upcoming death and resurrection, but they still don't get it.
Upon entering Capernaum, Peter is asked if he and his master pay the temple tax, to which he replies, "Of course!"
Peter then checks with Jesus to see if it is true, and Jesus responds that, only conquered people pay taxes.
It is interesting that Jesus considered this tax to be wrong, but to 'avoid offense', Peter is asked to trust God for the funds -- which arrive in a very unusual way.
The world, government, and people often leave us at a loss financially, but it is part of our call to trust God to make it up to us.
