Matthew:17:1-13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John his brother ,
and led them up a high mountain apart .
*
And he was transfigured before them ,
and his face shone like the sun ,
and his garments became white as light .
*
And behold ,
there appeared to them Moses and Eli '
jah ,
talking with him .
*
And Peter said to Jesus , "
Lord ,
it is well that we are here ;
if you wish ,
I will make three booths here ,
one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli '
jah ."
*
He was still speaking ,
when lo ,
a bright cloud overshadowed them ,
and a voice from the cloud said , "
This is my beloved Son ,
with whom I am well pleased ;
listen to him ."
*
When the disciples heard this ,
they fell on their faces ,
and were filled with awe .
*
But Jesus came and touched them ,
saying , "
Rise ,
and have no fear ."
*
And when they lifted up their eyes ,
they saw no one but Jesus only .
*
And as they were coming down the mountain ,
Jesus commanded them , "
Tell no one the vision ,
until the Son of man is raised from the dead ."
*
And the disciples asked him , "
Then why do the scribes say that first Eli '
jah must come ?"
*
He replied , "
Eli '
jah does come ,
and he is to restore all things ;
*
but I tell you that Eli '
jah has already come ,
and they did not know him ,
but did to him whatever they pleased .
So also the Son of man will suffer at their hands ."
*
Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist .
