Jesus Transfigured on the Mount(A)

28 (B)Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray. 29 As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening. 30 And behold, two men talked with Him, who were (C)Moses and (D)Elijah, 31 who appeared in glory and spoke of His [a]decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. 32 But Peter and those with him (E)were heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who stood with Him. 33 Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three [b]tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he said.

34 While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were fearful as they entered the (F)cloud. 35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, (G)“This is [c]My beloved Son. (H)Hear Him!” 36 When the voice had ceased, Jesus was found alone. (I)But they kept quiet, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.

Jesus Transfigured on the Mount

(A)Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. His clothes became shining, exceedingly (B)white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them. And Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”— because he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid.

And a (C)cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is (D)My beloved Son. (E)Hear Him!” Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves.

(F)Now as they came down from the mountain, He commanded them that they should tell no one the things they had seen, till the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 So they kept this word to themselves, questioning (G)what the rising from the dead meant.

11 And they asked Him, saying, “Why do the scribes say (H)that Elijah must come first?”

12 Then He answered and told them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming first and restores all things. And (I)how is it written concerning the Son of Man, that He must suffer many things and (J)be treated with contempt? 13 But I say to you that (K)Elijah has also come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him.”
