Matthew 17:1-13

The Transfiguration

1 aAnd after six days Jesus took with him bPeter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2And he was ctransfigured before them, and dhis face shone like the sun, and ehis clothes became white as light. 3And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. 4And Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for fElijah.” 5He was still speaking when, behold, ga bright cloud overshadowed them, and ha voice from the cloud said, iThis is my beloved Son,
Or  my Son, my (or the) Beloved
with whom I am well pleased; klisten to him.”
6When lthe disciples heard this, mthey fell on their faces and were terrified. 7But Jesus came and ntouched them, saying, Rise, and ohave no fear.” 8And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.

9 pAnd as they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, qTell no one the vision, until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.” 10And the disciples asked him, “Then why do the scribes say rthat first Elijah must come?” 11He answered, Elijah does come, and she will restore all things. 12But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but tdid to him whatever they pleased. uSo also the Son of Man will certainly suffer at their hands.” 13 vThen the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist.

Mark 9:2-13

The Transfiguration

2 wAnd after six days Jesus took with him xPeter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was ytransfigured before them, 3and zhis clothes became radiant, intensely white, as no one
Greek launderer (gnapheus)
on earth could bleach them.
4And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5And Peter said to Jesus, abRabbi,
 Rabbi means my teacher, or my master
it is good that we are here. Let us make three adtents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
6For aehe did not know what to say, for they were terrified. 7And afa cloud overshadowed them, and aga voice came out of the cloud, ahThis is my beloved Son;
Or  my Son, my (or the) Beloved
ajlisten to him.”
8And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only.

9 akAnd as they were coming down the mountain, alhe charged them to tell no one what they had seen, amuntil the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 anSo they kept the matter to themselves, aoquestioning what this rising from the dead might mean. 11And they asked him, “Why do the scribes say apthat first Elijah must come?” 12And he said to them, Elijah does come first aqto restore all things. And arhow is it written of the Son of Man that he should assuffer many things and atbe treated with contempt? 13But I tell you that Elijah has come, and authey did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him.”
