1 2 P 1.17,18Six days later Jesustook with him Peterand the brothers Jamesand Johnand led them up a high mountain where they were alone. 2 As they looked on, a change came over Jesus: his face was shining like the sun, and his clothes were dazzling white. 3 Then the three disciples saw Mosesand Elijahtalking with Jesus. 4 So Peterspoke up and said to Jesus, "Lord, how good it is that we are here! If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

6 When the disciples heard the voice, they were so terrified that they threw themselves face downward on the ground. 7 Jesuscame to them and touched them. "Get up," he said. "Don’t be afraid!" 8 So they looked up and saw no one there but Jesus.
9 As they came down the mountain, Jesusordered them, "Don’t tell anyone about this vision you have seen until the Son of Man has been raised from death."
10 Ml 4.5Then the disciples asked Jesus, "Why do the teachers of the Law say that Elijahhas to come first?"
11 Si 48.10"Elijahis indeed coming first," answered Jesus, "and he will get everything ready. 12 Mt 11.14But I tell you that Elijahhas already come and people did not recognize him, but treated him just as they pleased. In the same way they will also mistreat the Son of Man."
13 Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them about Johnthe Baptist.
