1. After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.

2. He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.

3. Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.

4. Peter answered, and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let's make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

5. While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him."

6. When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.

7. Jesus came and touched them and said,"Get up, and don't be afraid."

8. Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.

9. As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying,"Don't tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead."

10. His disciples asked him, saying, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

11. Jesus answered them,"Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all things,

12. but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they didn't recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them."

13. Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptizer.

2. After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.

3. His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.

4. Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.

5. Peter answered Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let's make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

6. For he didn't know what to say, for they were very afraid.

7. A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him."

8. Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them any more, except Jesus only.

9. As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

10. They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the "rising from the dead" meant.

11. They asked him, saying, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

12. He said to them,"Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?

13. But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him."

28. About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.

29. As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.

30. Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,

31. who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

32. Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.

33. As they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let's make three tents: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah," not knowing what he said.

34. While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.

35. A voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!"

36. When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.
