Mark 9:2-13

Goodspeed(i) 2 Six days after this Jesus took Peter, James, and John with him, and led them up on a high mountain, off by themselves. And his appearance underwent a change in their presence, 3 and his clothes shone whiter than any earthly bleaching could make them. 4 And Elijah appeared to them, accompanied by Moses, and they talked with Jesus. 5 Then Peter spoke, and said to Jesus, "Master, how good it is that we are here! Let us put up three huts, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah." 6 For he did not know what to say, they were so frightened. 7 And a cloud came and overshadowed them, and from the cloud came a voice, "This is my Son, my Beloved. Listen to him," 8 And suddenly, on looking around, they saw that there was now no one with them but Jesus alone. 9 As they were going down the mountain, he cautioned them to let no one know what they had seen, until the Son of Man should rise from the dead. 10 And they did not forget what he said, but discussed with one another what he meant by the rising from the dead. 11 And they asked him, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?" 12 He said to them, "Elijah does come first, and reforms everything, and does not the Scripture say of the Son of Man that he will suffer much and be refused? 13 Why, I tell you, not only has Elijah come, but people have treated him just as they pleased, as the Scripture says about him."
