1
And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his brother, and doth bring them up to a high mount by themselves,
2
and he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his garments did become white as the light,
3
and lo, appear to them did Moses and Elijah, talking together with him.
4
And Peter answering said to Jesus, `Sir, it is good to us to be here; if thou wilt, we may make here three booths -- for thee one, and for Moses one, and one for Elijah.'
5
While he is yet speaking, lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, `This is My Son, -- the Beloved, in whom I did delight; hear him.'
6
And the disciples having heard, did fall upon their face, and were exceedingly afraid,
7
and Jesus having come near, touched them, and said, `Rise, be not afraid,'
8
and having lifted up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus only.
9
And as they are coming down from the mount, Jesus charged them, saying, `Say to no one the vision, till the Son of Man out of the dead may rise.'
10
And his disciples questioned him, saying, `Why then do the scribes say that Elijah it behoveth to come first?'
