Matthew 17:1-13
Wycliffe Bible
17 And after six days Jesus took Peter, and James, and John, his brother, and led them aside into an high hill,
2 and was transfigured into another likeness before them [and was transfigured, or turned into another likeness, before them]. And his face shone as the sun; and his clothes were made white as snow.
3 And lo! Moses and Elias appeared to them, and spake with him. [And lo! Moses and Elias appeared to them, speaking with him.]
4 And Peter answered, and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good us to be here. If thou wilt, make we here three tabernacles; to thee one, to Moses one, and one to Elias.
5 Yet while he spake, lo! a bright cloud overshadowed them; and lo! a voice out of the cloud, that said, This is my dear-worthy Son, in whom I have well pleased to me; hear ye him.
6 And the disciples heard, and felled down [fell down] on their faces, and dreaded greatly.
7 And Jesus came, and touched them, and said to them, Rise up, and do not ye dread.
8 And they lifted up their eyes, and saw no man, but Jesus alone.
9 And as they came down of the hill, Jesus commanded to them, and said, Say ye to no man the vision, till man's Son rise again from death.[a]
10 And his disciples asked him, and said, What then say the scribes, that it behooveth that Elias come first? [And his disciples asked him, saying, What therefore say scribes, that it behooveth Elias first come?]
11 [And] He answered, and said to them, [Forsooth] Elias shall come, and he shall restore all things.
12 And I say to you, that Elias is now come, and they knew him not, but they did in him whatever things they would; and so man's Son shall suffer of them.
13 Then the disciples understood, that he said to them of John the Baptist.
