Mark:9:2-13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 ,
*
and his clothes became dazzling ,
exceedingly white ,
as no launderer on earth could bleach them .
*
And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses ,
and they were talking with Jesus .
*
And Peter 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 .«
*
For he did not know what to say ,
for they were greatly afraid .
*
And a cloud came and overshadowed them ;
and a voice came out of the cloud , »
This is my beloved Son .
Listen to him !«
*
Suddenly ,
when they looked around ,
they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only .
*
And as they were coming down the mountain ,
he charged them to tell no one what they had seen ,
until the Son of Man had risen from the dead .
*
So they kept the matter to themselves ,
questioning what the rising from the dead meant .
*
And they asked him , »
Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first ?«
*
Then he said to them , »
Elijah does come first and restores all things .
And how is it written of the Son of Man ,
that he must suffer many things and be treated with contempt ?
*
But I tell you that Elijah has come ,
and they did to him whatever they wished ,
as it is written of him .«
