Mark 9:2–13

^2cNow after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. ³His clothes became shining, exceedingly ^dwhite, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them. ⁴And Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. ⁵Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—⁶because he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid.

⁷And a ^ecloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is ^fMy beloved Son. ^gHear Him!” ⁸Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves.

^9hNow as they came down from the mountain, He commanded them that they should tell no one the things they had seen, till the Son of Man had risen from the dead. ¹⁰So they kept this word to themselves, questioning ⁱwhat the rising from the dead meant.

¹¹And they asked Him, saying, “Why do the scribes say ^jthat Elijah must come first?”

¹²Then He answered and told them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming first and restores all things. And ^khow is it written concerning the Son of Man, that He must suffer many things and ^lbe treated with contempt? ¹³But I say to you that ^mElijah has also come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him.”
