NSB(i)
1 After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother up into a high mountain alone.
2 While they watched, Jesus’ appearance changed (transformed) (transfigured) in their presence. His face was as bright as the sun and his clothes became as white as the light.
3 Moses and Elijah appeared, and they were talking to him.
4 Peter told Jesus: »Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let us make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.«
5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them. A voice came out of the cloud, saying: »This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.«
6 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces. They were very afraid.
7 Jesus touched them and told them to get up and not be afraid.
8 They saw only Jesus when they opened their eyes.
9 When they came down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone what they saw, until the Son of man has risen from the dead.
10 His disciples asked him: »Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?«
11 In answer he said: »Elijah truly has to come and put all things right.
12 »I tell you that Elijah has come. They did not know him and treated him badly as they pleased. They will do the same with the Son of man.«
13 Then the disciples saw that he was telling them about John the Baptist.
