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

2 ^jAnd after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And ^khe was ^ltransfigured before them, 3 and his clothes became ^mradiant, intensely white, as no one¹ on earth could bleach them. 4 ⁿAnd there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5 And Peter said to Jesus, ^o“Rabbi,² it is good that we are here. Let us make three ^ptents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” 6 For he did not know what to say, for they were terrified. 7 And a ^qcloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, ^r“This is my beloved Son;^{3 s}listen to him.” 8 And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only.

9 ^tAnd as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to ^utell no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning ^vwhat this rising from the dead might mean. 11 And they asked him, “Why do the scribes say that ^wfirst Elijah must come?” 12 And he said to them, “Elijah does come first to restore all things. And how is it ^xwritten of the Son of Man ^ythat he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt? 13 But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him ^zwhatever they pleased, as it is written of him.”
