  • Matt 17:1-9 : 1 After six days, Jesus took Peter, James, and John, the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2 There He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. 3 Just then, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus. 4 Peter said to Jesus, 'Lord, it is good for us to be here. If You wish, I will put up three tents: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.' 5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, 'This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to Him!' 6 When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. 7 But Jesus came and touched them. 'Get up,' He said, 'Don’t be afraid.' 8 When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus alone. 9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, 'Do not tell anyone about the vision until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.' 10 The disciples asked Him, 'Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?' 11 Jesus replied, 'Indeed, Elijah is coming and will restore all things. 12 But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him. Instead, they did to him whatever they pleased. In the same way, the Son of Man is about to suffer at their hands.' 13 Then the disciples understood that He was speaking to them about John the Baptist.

Listen to him!' 8 Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus alone. 9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus instructed them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what 'rising from the dead' might mean. 11 And they asked him, 'Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?' 12 Jesus replied, 'Elijah does come first and restores all things.
