Matthew 17:5–11

5 While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud covered* them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him!”c 6 When the disciplesd heard this, they fell facedown and were terrified.

7 Jesus came up, touched them, and said, “Get up; don’t be afraid.”e 8 When they looked up they saw no one except Jesus alone.

9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them,f “Don’t tell anyone about the vision until the Son of Man is raisedC from the dead.”

10 So the disciples asked him, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”g

11 “Elijah is comingD and will restore everything,” he replied.E,h
