mnt@Matthew:17:2 @ Here he was transfigured before them; his face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.

mnt@Matthew:17:3 @ And behold! Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus.

mnt@Matthew:17:4 @ Then Peter said to Jesus. "Master, it is good that we are here! If you are willing I will make here three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

mnt@Matthew:17:5 @ While he was yet speaking, behold! a luminous cloud overshadowed them; and a voice out of the cloud, saying. "This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom is my delight. Listen to him."

mnt@Matthew:17:7 @ But Jesus came to them and touched them, saying, "Rise, have no fear!"

mnt@Matthew:17:8 @ And when they raised their eyes they saw no one save Jesus only.

mnt@Matthew:17:10 @ And his disciples asked him, saying, "Why then do the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"

mnt@Matthew:17:11 @ And he answered. "Elijah is coming, and will restore all things.
