^2 (A)And six days later, Jesus *took with Him ^(B)Peter and James and John, and *brought them up on a high mountain alone by themselves. And He was transfigured before them; ³ and ^(C)His garments were shining intensely white, as no launderer on earth can whiten them. ⁴ And Elijah appeared to them along with Moses and they were conversing with Jesus. ⁵ And Peter answered and *said to Jesus, “^(D)Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; ^(E)let us make three ^[a]booths, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” ⁶ For he did not know what to answer; for they became terrified. ⁷ Then a cloud ^[b]formed, overshadowing them, and ^(F)a voice ^[c]came out of the cloud, “^(G)This is My beloved Son, ^[d]listen to Him!” ⁸ And all at once when they looked around, they saw no one with them anymore, except Jesus alone.

^9 (H)And as they were coming down from the mountain, He ^(I)gave them orders not to recount to anyone what they had seen, ^[e]until the Son of Man rose from the dead. ¹⁰ And they ^[f]seized upon ^[g]that statement, arguing with one another ^[h]what rising from the dead meant. ¹¹ And they began asking Him, saying, “Why is it that the scribes say that ^(J)Elijah must come first?” ¹² And He said to them, “Elijah does first come and restore all things. And yet how is it written of ^(K)the Son of Man that ^(L)He will suffer many things and be treated with contempt? ¹³ But I say to you that Elijah has ^[i]indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wished, just as it is written of him.”
