Mark 9:1-13

1And Jesus was saying to them, “1Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.”

22Six days later, Jesus took with Him 3Peter and 4James and John, and brought them up on a high mountain by themselves. And He was transfigured before them; 3and 5His garments became radiant and exceedingly white, as no launderer on earth can whiten them. 4Elijah appeared to them along with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus. 5Peter said to Jesus, “6Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; 7let us make three 8tabernacles, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 6For he did not know what to answer; for they became terrified. 7Then a cloud 9formed, overshadowing them, and 10a voice 11came out of the cloud, “12This is My beloved Son, 13listen to Him!” 8All at once they looked around and saw no one with them anymore, except Jesus alone.

914As they were coming down from the mountain, He 15gave them orders not to relate to anyone what they had seen, 16until the Son of Man rose from the dead. 10They 17seized upon 18that statement, discussing with one another 19what rising from the dead meant. 11They asked Him, saying, “Why is it that the scribes say that 20Elijah must come first?” 12And He said to them, “Elijah does first come and restore all things. And yet how is it written of 21the Son of Man that 22He will suffer many things and be treated with contempt? 13But I say to you that Elijah has 23indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wished, just as it is written of him.”
