Luke 9:30

Luke 9:28-36

²⁸Now it happened, about eight days after these words, that taking along Peter and John and James, he went up onto the mountain to pray. ²⁹And it happened, while he was praying, that the appearance of his face became different, and his clothing became white, flashing like lightning. ³⁰And look, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah, ³¹who, appearing in glory, were speaking of his departure, which he was about to fulfill in Jerusalem. ³²Now Peter and those with him were weighed down with sleep; but becoming fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. ³³And it happened, as they were parting from him, that Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah”— not knowing what he was saying. ³⁴And while he was saying these things, a cloud came and was overshadowing them; and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud. ³⁵And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, the Chosen One; listen to him.” ³⁶And when the voice had come, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.

Matthew 17:1-13

¹And after six days Jesus takes along Peter and James and John his brother, and leads them up onto a high mountain by themselves. ²And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as the light. ³And look, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. ⁴And Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, I will make three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” ⁵While he was still speaking, look, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and look, a voice from the cloud was saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” ⁶And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were very afraid. ⁷And Jesus came and, touching them, said, “Get up, and do not be afraid.” ⁸And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus himself alone. ⁹And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Tell no one the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.” ¹⁰And the disciples asked him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” ¹¹And he answered and said, “Elijah does come and will restore all things. ¹²But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted. So also the Son of Man is going to suffer by them.” ¹³Then the disciples understood that he had spoken to them about John the Immerser.

Mark 9:2-13

²And after six days Jesus takes along Peter and James and John, and leads them up onto a high mountain by themselves alone. And he was transfigured before them, ³and his clothes became radiant, intensely white, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them like that. ⁴And Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. ⁵And Peter responds and says to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” ⁶For he did not know what to answer, for they had become terrified. ⁷And a cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud: “This is my beloved Son; listen to him.” ⁸And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only. ⁹And as they were coming down from the mountain, he ordered them to tell no one what they had seen, except when the Son of Man had risen from the dead. ¹⁰And they kept the matter to themselves, discussing what the rising from the dead meant. ¹¹And they were asking him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” ¹²And he said to them, “Elijah does come first and restores all things. And how is it written about the Son of Man that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt? ¹³But I tell you that Elijah has indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wanted, as it is written of him.”
