Matthew 17:1-13

ACV(i) 1 And after six days Jesus takes Peter, and James, and John his brother, and brings them up onto a high mountain in private. 2 And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his garments became white as the light. 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with him. 4 And having responded, Peter said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here. If thou desire, we could make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. 5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye him. 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were exceedingly afraid. 7 And having come, Jesus touched them and said, Arise, and fear not. 8 And having lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, except Jesus only. 9 And while they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man will rise from the dead. 10 And his disciples questioned him, saying, Why then do the scholars say that Elijah must first come? 11 And having answered, Jesus said to them, Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all. 12 But I say to you, that Elijah already came, and they knew him not, but did to him how many things they wanted. Likewise also the Son of man is going to suffer by them. 13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them about John the immerser.
