Mark 9:2-13
And after six days Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John,
and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And He was
transfigured before them, 3 and His clothes became
radiant, intensely white, as no one on earth could bleach
them.4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and
they were talking with Jesus.5 And Peter said to Jesus,
“Rabbi, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one
for You and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” 6 For he
did not know what to say, for they were terrified. 7 And
a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This
is My beloved Son; listen to Him.” 8 And suddenly,
looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus
only.
9 And as they were coming down the mountain, He charged
them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had
risen from the dead. 10 So they kept the matter to
themselves, questioning what this rising from the dead might
mean.11 And they asked Him, “Why do the scribes say that
first Elijah must come?”12 And He said to them, “Elijah
does come first to restore all things. And how is it written of the
Son of Man that He should suffer many things and be treated with
contempt? 13 But I tell you that Elijah has come, and
they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of
him.”
