After six days Jesus took with him Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was metamorphosed before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light. And, look and see, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. Then Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it’s good that we’re here. If you wish, I’ll make three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” He was still speaking when, look and see, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is the loved-in-action Son of mine, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were exceedingly fearful. But Jesus came and held onto them, saying, “Rise up, and don’t fear.” Lifting up their eyes, they discerned no one else save Jesus only. As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Tell no one what you have seen until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.” The disciples asked him, “Then why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?” He answered, “Elijah indeed is come, and he will restore everything. But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did to him precisely what they wanted. So also the Son of Man will certainly suffer at their hands.” Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist. Matthew 17: 1-13 | |||||||||||
