2And after six days Jesus took Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain by themselves alone, and he was transformed before them.3And his clothing became shining white, such as no bleacher on the earth is able to bleach in this way.4And Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.5And Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here, and let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah."6For he did not know what to answer, for they had become terrified.7And a cloud appeared, overshadowing them, and a voice came from the cloud: "This is my beloved son; listen to him."8And suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone except Jesus alone with them.9And as they were coming down from the mountain, he ordered them to tell no one what they had seen until the son of man should rise from the dead.10And they kept the word to themselves, discussing what the rising from the dead meant.11And they asked him, saying, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"12And he said to them, "Elijah does indeed come first and restores all things, and how is it written of the son of man that he must suffer many things and be treated with contempt?"13But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they wished, just as it is written of him.
