2After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There He was transfigured before them.
3His clothes became radiantly white, brighter than any launderer on earth could bleach them.
4And Elijah and Moses appeared before them, talking with Jesus.
5Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters — one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
6For they were all so terrified that Peter did not know what else to say.
7Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him!”
8Suddenly, when they looked around, they saw no one with them except Jesus.
9As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus admonished them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10So they kept this matter to themselves, discussing what it meant to rise from the dead.
11And they asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
12He replied, “Elijah does indeed come first, and he restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected?
13But I tell you that Elijah has indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they wished, just as it is written about him.”
— Mark 9:2-13
