The Transfiguration
2 And after six days, Jesus took along Peter and James and John, and led them to a high mountain by themselves alone. And he was transfigured before them,
3
and his clothing became radiant--extremely white, like no cloth refiner on earth can {make so white}.
4
And Elijah appeared to them together with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
5
And Peter answered [and] said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good [that] we are here! And let us make three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah."
6
(For he did not know what he should answer, because they were terrified.)
7
And a cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came from the cloud, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!"
8
And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus alone.
9
And [as] they were coming down from the mountain, he ordered them that they should tell no one [the things] that they had seen, except when the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10
And they kept the matter to themselves, discussing what this rising from the dead {meant}.
11
And they asked him, saying, "{Why do} the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
12
And he said to them, "Elijah indeed does come first [and] restores all [things]. And how is it written concerning the Son of Man that he should suffer many [things] and be treated with contempt?
