Mark:9:2-13

*
Six days later Jesus took with him Peter and Jamesand John ,
and brought them by themselves up a high mountain apart from the rest .
*
Here in their presence he was transfigured ;
and his clothes also became glistering with a radiant whiteness ,
such as no bleaching on earth could give .
*
Moreover there appeared to them Elijah ,
with Moses ;
and they were talking with Jesus .
* "
Master ,"
said Peter ,
addressing Jesus , "
it is good for us to be here .
Let us put up three tents one for you ,
one for Moses ,
and one for Elijah ."
* (
For he did not know what to say ,
they were so awestruck .)
*
Then there came a cloud overshadowing them ;
and there came a voice out of the cloud . "
This is my Son ,
my beloved .
Listen to him ."
*
And suddenly as they looked around ,
they saw no one any more beside them ,
but Jesus alone .
*
As they came down the mountain he strictly forbade them to narrate to any one what they had seen ,
until after the Son of man had risen from the dead .
*
This order they faithfully kept ,
questioning among themselves what "
rising again from the dead "
meant .
*
So they asked him , "
How is it that the Scribes say that Elijah must first come ?"
* "
Elijah does indeed first come ,"
he said , "
and restores all things ,
But how is it written about the Son of Man ,
that he will endure great suffering ,
and be rejected ?
* "
Elijah indeed has already come ,"
he added , "
and they have done to him whatever they pleased ,
even as it is written of him ."
