Matthew:17:1-13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And after six days Jesus takes Peter ,
James ,
and John ,
his brother ,
and brings them apart up into a high mountain
*
and was transfigured before them ,
and his face shined as the sun ,
and his raiment was [
as ]
white as the light .
*
And ,
behold ,
Moses and Elijah appeared unto them talking with him .
*
Then Peter answered and said unto Jesus ,
Lord ,
it is good for us to remain here ;
if thou desire ,
let us make three tabernacles here :
one for thee and one for Moses and one for Elijah .
*
While he yet spoke ,
behold ,
a cloud of light overshadowed them ,
and ,
behold ,
a voice out of the cloud , [
which ]
said ,
This is my beloved Son ,
in whom I am well pleased ;
hear ye him .
*
And when the disciples heard [
it ],
they fell on their faces and feared greatly .
*
Then Jesus came and touched them and said ,
Arise and be not afraid .
*
And when they had lifted up their eyes ,
they saw no one except Jesus only .
*
And as they came down from the mountain ,
Jesus charged them ,
saying ,
Tell the vision to no one until the Son of man is risen from the dead .
*
Then his disciples asked him ,
saying ,
Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first ?
*
And Jesus answered and said unto them ,
Elijah truly shall come first and restore all things .
*
But I say unto you ,
That Elijah is come already ,
and they knew him not ,
but have done unto him whatever they pleased .
Likewise the Son of man shall also suffer of them .
*
Then the disciples understood that he spoke unto them of John the Baptist .
