Mark 9:1-13

The Transfiguration

And Jesus was saying to them, “^aTruly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God having come in power.”
2 ^aAnd six days later, Jesus *took with Him ^bPeter and James and John, and *brought them up on a high mountain alone by themselves. And He was transfigured before them; 3 and ^aHis garments were shining intensely white, as no launderer on earth can whiten them. 4 And Elijah appeared to them along with Moses and they were conversing with Jesus. 5 And Peter answered and *said to Jesus, “^aRabbi, it is good for us to be here; ^blet us make three ¹booths, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 6 For he did not know what to answer; for they became terrified. 7 Then a cloud ¹formed, overshadowing them, and ^aa voice ¹came out of the cloud, “^bThis is My beloved Son, ²listen to Him!” 8 And all at once when they looked around, they saw no one with them anymore, except Jesus alone.
9 ^aAnd as they were coming down from the mountain, He ^bgave them orders not to recount to anyone what they had seen, ¹until the Son of Man rose from the dead. 10 And they ¹seized upon ²that statement, arguing with one another ³what rising from the dead meant. 11 And they began asking Him, saying, “Why is it that the scribes say that ^aElijah must come first?” 12 And He said to them, “Elijah does first come and restore all things. And yet how is it written of ^athe Son of Man that ^bHe will suffer many things and be treated with contempt? 13 But I say to you that Elijah has ¹indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wished, just as it is written of him.”
