Matthew 17:1-13

The Transfiguration

1 1Six days later Jesus took with Him 2Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves.
2 And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light.
3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.
4 Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, 3I will make three tabernacles here, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, 4a voice out of the cloud said, "5This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!"
6 When the disciples heard this, they fell face down to the ground and were terrified.
7 And Jesus came to them and touched them and said, "Get up, and 6do not be afraid."
8 And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus Himself alone.
9 7As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, "8Tell the vision to no one until 9the Son of Man has 10risen from the dead."
10 And His disciples asked Him, "Why then do the scribes say that 11Elijah must come first?"
11 And He answered and said, "Elijah is coming and will restore all things;
12 but I say to you that Elijah already came, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wished. So also 12the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands."
13 Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them about John the Baptist.
