Mark 9: 2 - 13
|
2 | And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them, |
3 | and his garments became glistening, intensely white, as no fuller on earth could bleach them. |
4 | And there appeared to them Eli'jah with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus. |
5 | And Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli'jah." |
6 | For he did not know what to say, for they were exceedingly afraid. |
7 | And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son; listen to him." |
8 | And suddenly looking around they no longer saw any one with them but Jesus only. |
9 | And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of man should have risen from the dead. |
10 | So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant. |
11 | And they asked him, "Why do the scribes say that first Eli'jah must come?" |
12 | And he said to them, "Eli'jah does come first to restore all things; and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt? |
13 | But I tell you that Eli'jah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him." |
