1

And after six days Jesus takes with him Peter, and James, and John, his brother, and makes them go up with him into a high mountain by themselves.

2

And he was changed in form before them and his face was shining like the sun, and his clothing became white as light.

3

And Moses and Elijah came before their eyes, talking with him.

4

And Peter made answer and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if you will let me, I will make here three tents, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

5

While he was still talking, a bright cloud came over them: and a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased give ear to him.

6

And at these words the disciples went down on their faces in great fear.

7

And Jesus came and put his hand on them and said, Get up and have no fear.

8

And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, but Jesus only.

9

And when they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus gave them orders, saying, Let no man have word of what you have seen, till the Son of man has come again from the dead.

10

And his disciples, questioning him, said, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?

11

And in answer he said, Elijah truly has to come and put all things right:

12

But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they had no knowledge of him, but did to him whatever they were pleased to do the same will the Son of man undergo at their hands.

13

Then the disciples saw that he was talking to them of John the Baptist.
