Mark 9:2-13

Lamsa(i) 2 And six days after, Jesus took Peter, and James, and John, and brought them up to a high mountain alone; and he was transfigured before their eyes. 3 His clothes shone, and became white like snow, in such a manner that men on earth cannot make white. 4 And there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus. 5 And Peter said to him, Teacher, it is better for us to remain here; and let us make three shelters, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. 6 For he did not know what he was saying, for they were in fear. 7 And there was a cloud overshadowing them, and a voice out of the cloud said, This is my beloved Son; hear him. 8 And suddenly, when the disciples looked around, they saw no man, except Jesus alone with them. 9 And as they came down from the mountain, he commanded them not to tell any man what they had seen, until the Son of man has risen from the dead. 10 So they kept that saying to themselves, and they wanted to know what ôrisen from the deadö means. 11 And they asked him, saying, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must first come? 12 He said to them, Elijah does come first, to prepare everything; and as it is written concerning the Son of man, that he will suffer much and be rejected. 13 But I say to you, that Elijah has also come, and they did with him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him.
