Mark 9:2-13

21And six days later Jesus took with Him 2Peter, 3James, and John, and brought them up on a high mountain by themselves. And He was 4transfigured before them; 3and 5His 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, “6Rabbi, it is good that we are here; 7let’s make three 8tabernacles, 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 9formed, overshadowing them, and 10a voice 11came out of the cloud: “12This is My beloved Son; 13listen to Him!” 8And suddenly 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. 11And they asked Him, saying, “Why is it that the scribes say that 20Elijah must come first?” 12And He said to them, “Elijah does come first and he restores 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 wanted, just as it is written of him.”
