Riverside(i)
1 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain alone.
2 There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun and his clothes became white as the light.
3 Then appeared to them Moses and Elijah talking with him.
4 Peter said to Jesus, "Sir, it is fine for us to be here. If you like, I will make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah."
5 While he was speaking, a bright cloud suddenly overspread them and a voice issued from the cloud, "This is my Son, the Beloved, in whom I delight. Hear him."
6 The disciples on hearing this fell on their faces in great terror.
7 But Jesus came and touched them and said, "Rise and do not be afraid."
8 When they raised their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus himself alone.
9 As they were descending the mountain, Jesus charged them, "Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man has risen from the dead."
10 The disciples asked him, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
11 He answered, "Elijah does come and restore all things.
12 But I tell you Elijah has already come and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they chose. Just so the Son of Man is about to suffer at their hands."
13 Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist.
