The Transfiguration
1 1And after six days Jesus took with him
2Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.
2
And he was
3transfigured before them, and
4his face shone like the sun, and
5his clothes became white as light.
3
And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him.
4
And Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for
6Elijah."
5
He was still speaking when, behold,
7a bright cloud overshadowed them, and
8a voice from the cloud said,
9"This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased;
10listen to him."
6
When
11the disciples heard this,
12they fell on their faces and were terrified.
7
But Jesus came and
13touched them, saying,
"Rise, and 14have no fear."
8
And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.
9
15And as they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them,
16"Tell no one the vision, until the Son of Man is raised from the dead."
10
And the disciples asked him, "Then why do the scribes say
17that first Elijah must come?"
