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 when it has come with power.”

22And six days later Jesus took with Him 3Peter, 4James, and John, and brought them up on a high mountain by themselves. And He was 5transfigured before them; 3and 6His garments became radiant and exceedingly white, as no launderer on earth can whiten them. 4And Elijah appeared to them along with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus. 5Peter responded and said to Jesus, “7Rabbi, it is good that we are here; 8let’s make three 9tabernacles, one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 6For he did not know how to reply; for they became terrified. 7Then a cloud 10formed, overshadowing them, and 11a voice 12came out of the cloud: “13This is My beloved Son; 14listen to Him!” 8And suddenly they looked around and saw no one with them anymore, except Jesus alone.

915As they were coming down from the mountain, He 16gave them orders not to relate to anyone what they had seen, 17until the Son of Man rose from the dead. 10They 18seized upon 19that statement, discussing with one another 20what rising from the dead meant. 11And they asked Him, saying, “Why is it that the scribes say that 21Elijah must come first?” 12And He said to them, “Elijah does come first and he restores all things. And yet how is it written of 22the Son of Man that 23He will suffer many things and be treated with contempt? 13But I say to you that Elijah has 24indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wanted, just as it is written of him.”
