Matthew 17:1-13
1After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.
2He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became white as the light.
3Behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah talking with him.
4Peter answered, and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let`s make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
5While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him."
6When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
7Jesus came and touched them and said, "Get up, and don`t be afraid."
8Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.
9As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, "Don`t tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead."
10His disciples asked him, saying, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?
11Jesus answered them, "Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all things,
12but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they didn`t recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so will the Son of Man also suffer by them."
13Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptizer.
