Mark 9:2–8

The Transfiguration

oAnd after six days Jesus took with him pPeter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was qtransfigured before them, and rhis clothes became radiant, intensely white, as no one1 on earth could bleach them. And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. And Peter said to Jesus, sRabbi,2 it is good that we are here. Let us make three ttents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah. For uhe did not know what to say, for they were terrified. And va cloud overshadowed them, and va voice came out of the cloud, wThis is my beloved Son;3 xlisten to him. And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only.


Mark 9:9–13

yAnd as they were coming down the mountain, zhe charged them to tell no one what they had seen, auntil the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 bSo they kept the matter to themselves, cquestioning what this rising from the dead might mean. 11 And they asked him, Why do the scribes say dthat first Elijah must come? 12 And he said to them, Elijah does come first eto restore all things. And fhow is it written of the Son of Man that he should gsuffer many things and hbe treated with contempt? 13 But I tell you that Elijah has come, and ithey did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him.
