The Transfiguration
And after six days Jesus taketh
Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high
mountain apart,
And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as
the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah
talking with him.
Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good
for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles;
one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them:
and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved
Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and
were sore afraid.
And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save
Jesus only.
And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them,
saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again
from the dead.
And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes
that Elijah must first come
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elijah truly shall
first come, and restore all things.
But I say unto you, That Elijah is come already, and they
knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise
shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John
the Baptist.
