Matthew 17:1–13

¹And after six days Jesus takes with him Peter, and James, and John his brother, and brings them up into a high mountain apart. ²And he was transfigured before them. And his face shone as the sun, and his garments became white as the light; ³and lo, Moses and Elias appeared to them talking with him. ⁴And Peter answering said to Jesus, Lord, it is good we should be here. If thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles: for thee one, and for Moses one, and one for Elias. ⁵While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I have found my delight: hear him. ⁶And the disciples hearing it fell upon their faces, and were greatly terrified. ⁷And Jesus coming to them touched them, and said, Rise up, and be not terrified. ⁸And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus alone. ⁹And as they descended from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no one, until the Son of man be risen up from among the dead. ¹⁰And his disciples demanded of him saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first have come? ¹¹And he answering said to them, Elias indeed comes first and will restore all things. ¹²But I say unto you that Elias has already come, and they have not known him, but have done unto him whatever they would. Thus also the Son of man is about to suffer from them. ¹³Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the baptist.
