And after six days Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart:

2And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun: and his garments became white as snow.

3And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with him.

4And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

5And as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him.

6And the disciples hearing fell upon their face, and were very much afraid.

7And Jesus came and touched them: and said to them: Arise, and fear not.

8And they lifting up their eyes, saw no one, but only Jesus.

9And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying: Tell the vision to no man, till the Son of man be risen from the dead.

10And his disciples asked him, saying: Why then do the scribes say that Elias must come first?

11But he answering, said to them: Elias indeed shall come, and restore all things.

12But I say to you, that Elias is already come, and they knew him not, But have done unto him whatsoever they had a mind. So also the Son of man shall suffer from them.

13Then the disciples understood, that he had spoken to them of John the Baptist.
