A Glimpse of His Glory

² After six days, Yeshua takes with Him Peter and Jacob and John, and brings them up a high mountain by themselves. And He was transfigured before them. ³ His clothes became radiant and brilliantly white, whiter than any launderer on earth could bleach them. ⁴ Then Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Yeshua.

⁵ Peter responds to Yeshua, “Rabbi, it’s good for us to be here. Let’s make three sukkot—one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” ⁶ (He didn’t know what to say, for they were terrified.)

⁷ Then a cloud came, overshadowing them;^[a] and out of the cloud came a voice, “This is My Son, whom I love. Listen to Him!” ^{[b] 8} Suddenly when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Yeshua.

⁹ As they were coming down from the mountain, Yeshua ordered them not to tell anyone what they had seen, until the Son of Man rose up from the dead. ¹⁰ They kept this word to themselves, discussing among themselves what it is to rise up from the dead. ¹¹ And they questioned Him, saying, “Why do the Torah scholars say that Elijah must come first?”

¹² Now He told them, “Indeed Elijah comes first;^[c] he restores all things. And how is it written that the Son of Man must suffer much and be treated with contempt? ^{[d] 13} I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they wanted, just as it is written about him.”^[e]
