Matthew:17:1-13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And after six days Jesus taketh Peter ,
James ,
and John his brother ,
and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart ,
*
And was transfigured before them :
and his face did shine as the sun ,
and his raiment was white as the light .
*
And ,
behold ,
there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him .
*
Then answered Peter ,
and said unto Jesus ,
Lord ,
it is good for us to be here :
if thou wilt ,
let us make here three tabernacles ;
one for thee ,
and one for Moses ,
and one for Elias .
*
While he yet spake ,
behold ,
a bright cloud 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 face ,
and were sore afraid .
*
And Jesus came and touched them ,
and said ,
Arise ,
and be not afraid .
*
And when they had lifted up their eyes ,
they saw no man ,
save Jesus only .
*
And as they came down from the mountain ,
Jesus charged them ,
saying ,
Tell the vision to no man ,
until the Son of man be risen again from the dead .
*
And his disciples asked him ,
saying ,
Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come ?
*
And Jesus answered and said unto them ,
Elias truly shall first come ,
and restore all things .
*
But I say unto you ,
That Elias is come already ,
and they knew him not ,
but have done unto him whatsoever they listed .
Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them .
*
Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist .
