Mark 9:2-13

The Transfiguration

² Six days later , Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John , and brought them up on a high mountain by themselves e . And He was transfigured before them; ³ and His garments became radiant and exceedingly white , as no launderer on earth can whiten them. ⁴ Elijah appeared to them along with Moses ; and they were talking with Jesus . ⁵ Peter said to Jesus , " Rabbi , it is good for us to be here ; let us make three tabernacles , one for You, and one for Moses , and one for Elijah ." ⁶ For he did not know what to answer ; for they became terrified . ⁷ Then a cloud formed , overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud , " This is My beloved Son , listen to Him!" ⁸ All at once they looked around and saw no one with them anymore , except Jesus alone . ⁹ As they were coming down from the mountain , He gave them orders not to relate to anyone what they had seen , until e e the Son of Man rose from the dead . ¹⁰ They seized upon that statement , discussing with one another what rising from the dead meant . ¹¹ They asked Him, saying , "Why is it that the scribes say that Elijah must come first ?" ¹² And He said to them, "Elijah does first come and restore all things . And yet how is it written of the Son of Man that He will suffer many things and be treated with contempt ? ¹³ "But I say to you that Elijah has indeed come , and they did to him whatever they wished , just as it is written of him."
