Three Disciples See Jesus Transformed, And Hear God Tell Them To Listen To Jesus

And after six days, Jesus takes along Peter and James and John, and brings them up on a high mountain privately, alone. And He was transfigured[a] in front of them. And His garments became shining[b], very white, such as a bleacher[c] on earth is not able to make so white. And Elijah appeared to them, with Moses. And they were talking-with Jesus. And having responded, Peter says to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good that we are here. And let us make three dwellings[d]— one for You and one for Moses and one for Elijah”. For he did not know what he should respond, for they became terrified. And there came-to-be a cloud overshadowing[e] them. And a voice came out of the cloud: “This is My beloved Son. Be listening-to Him”. And suddenly, having looked around, they no longer saw anyone with themselves but Jesus alone.

The Disciples Ask, Wasn’t Elijah Supposed To Come Before The Messiah?

And while they were coming down from the mountain, He gave orders to them that they should relate to no one the things which they saw, except when the Son of Man rises-up from the dead.
