1And after six days Jesus took Peter and James and John his brother and led them up a high mountain by themselves.2And he was transformed before them, and his face shone like the sun; then his clothing became white as the light.3And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with him.4Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah."5While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice from the cloud said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him."6When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were very afraid.7Jesus came near and touched them and said, "Rise, and do not be afraid."8When they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus alone.9As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, "Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man is raised from the dead."10And the disciples asked him, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"11He answered and said, "Elijah indeed comes and will restore all things."12But I say to you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wished; so also the Son of Man is about to suffer at their hands.13Then the disciples understood that he had spoken to them about John the Baptist.
