Mark 9:2-13
1599 Geneva Bible
2 (A)[a]And six days after, Jesus taketh unto him Peter, and James, and John, and carrieth them up into an high mountain out of the way alone, and his shape was changed before them.
3 And his raiment did [b]shine, and was very white as snow, so white as no fuller can make upon the earth.
4 And there appeared unto them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
5 Then Peter answered, and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: let us make also three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
6 Yet he knew not what he said: for they were [c]afraid.
7 And there was a cloud that shadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, (B)This is my beloved Son: hear him.
8 And suddenly they looked round about, and saw no more any man save Jesus only with them.
9 (C)[d]And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them, that they should tell no man what they had seen, save when the Son of man were risen from the dead again.
10 So they [e]kept that matter to themselves, and [f]demanded one of another, what the rising from the dead again should mean.
11 [g]Also they asked him, saying, Why say the Scribes, that (D)Elijah must first come?
12 And he answered, and said unto them, Elijah verily shall first come, and restore all things: and (E)as it is written of the Son of man, he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
13 But I say unto you, that Elijah is come, (and they have done unto him whatsoever they would) as it is written of him.
