Mark 9:1-9

Living Bible

9 Jesus went on to say to his disciples, “Some of you who are standing here right now will live to see the Kingdom of God arrive in great power!”

² Six days later Jesus took Peter, James and John to the top of a mountain. No one else was there.

Suddenly his face began to shine with glory, ³ and his clothing became dazzling white, far more glorious than any earthly process could ever make it! ⁴ Then Elijah and Moses appeared and began talking with Jesus!

⁵ “Teacher, this is wonderful!” Peter exclaimed. “We will make three shelters here, one for each of you. . . . ”

⁶ He said this just to be talking, for he didn’t know what else to say and they were all terribly frightened.

⁷ But while he was still speaking these words, a cloud covered them, blotting out the sun, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”

⁸ Then suddenly they looked around and Moses and Elijah were gone, and only Jesus was with them.

⁹ As they descended the mountainside he told them never to mention what they had seen until after he had risen^[a] from the dead.
