Living_Oracles(i)
1 After six days, Jesus took Peter, and James, and John, brother of James, apart to the top of a high mountain,
2 and was transfigured in their presence, His face shone as the sun; and his raiment became white as the light.
3 And presently appeared to them Moses and Elijah conversing with him.
4 Peter, upon this, addressing Jesus, said, Master, it is good for us to stay here; let us make here, if you will, three booths; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
5 While he was speaking, behold! a bright cloud covered them, and out of the cloud a voice came, which said, This is my Son, the beloved in whom I delight; hear him.
6 The disciples, hearing this, fell upon their faces, and were greatly frightened.
7 But Jesus came and touched them, saying, Arise; be not afraid.
8 Then lifting up their eyes, they saw none but Jesus.
9 As they went down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell no person what you have seen, until the Son of Man rise from the dead.
10 Then the disciples asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elijah must come first?
11 Jesus answering, said to them, To consummate the whole, Elijah, indeed, must come first.
12 But I tell you, Elijah is come already, though they did not acknowledge him, but have treated him as they pleased. Thus they will treat the Son of Man also.
13 Then the disciple understood, that he spoke concerning John the Immerser.
