Mark 9:2–13

^2aSix days later, Jesus took with Him ^bPeter and ¹James and John, and brought them up on a high mountain by themselves. And He was transfigured before them;

³and ^aHis garments became radiant and exceedingly white, as no launderer on earth can whiten them.

⁴Elijah appeared to them along with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.

⁵Peter said to Jesus, “^aRabbi, it is good for us to be here; ^blet us make three ¹tabernacles, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

⁶For he did not know what to answer; for they became terrified.

⁷Then a cloud ¹formed, overshadowing them, and ^aa voice came out of the cloud, “^bThis is My beloved Son, ²listen to Him!”

⁸All at once they looked around and saw no one with them anymore, except Jesus alone.

^9aAs they were coming down from the mountain, He ^bgave them orders not to relate to anyone what they had seen, ¹until the Son of Man rose from the dead.

¹⁰They ¹seized upon ²that statement, discussing with one another ³what rising from the dead meant.

¹¹They asked Him, saying, “Why is it that the scribes say that ^aElijah must come first?”

¹²And He said to them, “Elijah does first come and restore all things. And yet how is it written of ^athe Son of Man that ^bHe will suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

¹³“But I say to you that Elijah has ¹indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wished, just as it is written of him.”
