While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them; and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, whom I love, with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him!"

When the talmidim heard this, they were so frightened that they fell face down on the ground.
7
But Yeshua came and touched them. "Get up!" he said, "Don't be afraid."
8
So they opened their eyes, looked up and saw only Yeshua by himself.
9
As they came down the mountain, Yeshua ordered them, "Don't tell anyone what you have seen until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead."
10
The talmidim asked him, "Then why do the Torah-teachers say that Eliyahu must come first?"
11
