Mark 9:2-13

2 Six days later, Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up a high mountain to be alone with him. His appearance was changed in front of them,Matt 17:1; Luke 9:28 3 and his clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone ^{▼▼Lit. anyone who cleans} on earth could bleach them.Dan 7:9; Matt 28:3 4 Then Elijah appeared to them, accompanied by Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.

5 Then Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, ^{▼▼Rabbi is Heb. for Master and/or Teacher} it's good that we're here! Let's set up three shelters ^{▼▼Or tents}—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 6 (Peter ^{▼▼Lit. He} didn't know how to respond, for they were terrified.)

7 Then a cloud appeared and overshadowed them. A voice came out of the cloud and said, ^{▼▼The Gk. lacks and said} “This is my Son, whom I love. Keep on listening to him!” 8 Suddenly, as they looked around, they saw no one with them but Jesus alone.

9 On their way down the mountain, he ordered them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.Matt 17:9 10 They kept the matter to themselves but argued about what “rising from the dead” meant. 11 So they asked him, “Don't the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”Mal 4:5; Matt 17:10

12 He told them, “Elijah is indeed coming first and will restore all things. Why, then, is it written that the Son of Man must suffer a great deal and be treated shamefully?Ps 22:6; Isa 53:2; Dan 9:26; Luke 23:11; Phil 2:7 13 But I tell you that Elijah has come, yet people ^{▼▼Lit. they} treated him just as they pleased, as it is written about him.”Matt 11:14; 17:12; Luke 1:17

Luke 9:28-36

28 Jesus’ Appearance Is Changed Matthew 17:1-8; Mark 9:2-8Now about eight days after Jesus said this, ^{▼▼Lit. after these sayings} he took Peter, John, and James with him and went up on a mountain to pray.Matt 17:1; Mark 9:2 29 While he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes turned dazzling white. 30 Suddenly, two men were talking with him. They were Moses and Elijah. 31 They appeared in glory and were discussing Jesus’ ^{▼▼Lit. his} departure which he was about to bring to fulfillment in Jerusalem.

32 Now Peter and the men with him had been overcome by sleep. When they woke up, they saw Jesus’ ^{▼▼Lit. his} glory and the two men standing with him.Dan 8:18; 10:9 33 Just as Moses and Elijah ^{▼▼Lit. Just as they} were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it's good that we're here! Let's set up three shelters ^{▼▼Or tents}—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (Peter ^{▼▼Lit. He} didn't know what he was saying.) 34 But while he was saying this, a cloud appeared and overshadowed them, and they were frightened as they went into the cloud.

35 Then a voice came out of the cloud and said, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen. ^{▼▼Other mss. read whom I love} Keep listening to him!”Matt 3:17; Acts 3:22 36 After the voice had spoken, Jesus was ^{▼▼Lit. was found to be} alone. The disciples ^{▼▼Lit. They} kept silent and at that time ^{▼▼Lit. in those days} told no one about what they had seen.Matt 17:9
