1 And after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, his brother, and brought them apart up into a high mountain 2 and [he] was transfigured before them, and his face shined as the sun, and his raiment was as white as the light. 3 And, behold, Moses and Elijah appeared unto them talking with him. 4 Then Peter answered and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to remain here; if thou desire, let us make three tabernacles here: one for thee and one for Moses and one for Elijah. 5 While he yet spoke, behold, a cloud of light overshadowed them, and, behold, a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and feared greatly. 7 Then Jesus came and touched them and said, Arise and be not afraid. 8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus only.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no one until the Son of man is risen from the dead. 10 Then his disciples asked him, saying, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first? 11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elijah truly shall come first and restore all things. 12 But I say unto you, That Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatever they pleased. Likewise the Son of man shall also suffer of them. 13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke unto them of John the Baptist.
