The Transfiguration

Mark 9

2 o And after six days Jesus took with him p Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was q transfigured before them, 3 and r his clothes became radiant, intensely white, as no one 1 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, s "Rabbi, 2 it is good that we are here. Let us make three t tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah." 6 For u he did not know what to say, for they were terrified. 7 And v a cloud overshadowed them, and v a voice came out of the cloud, w "This is my beloved Son; 3 x listen to him." 8 And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only.

9 y And as they were coming down the mountain, z he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, a until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 b So they kept the matter to themselves, c questioning what this rising from the dead might mean. 11 And they asked him, "Why do the scribes say d that first Elijah must come?" 12 And he said to them, "Elijah does come first e to restore all things. And f how is it written of the Son of Man that he should g suffer many things and h be treated with contempt? 13 But I tell you that Elijah has come, and i they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him."
