Mark 9:1-13 ▼

1 And He said unto them, Verily I tell you, that there are some of those who stand here, that shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.

2 And after six days Jesus taketh with Him Peter, and James, and John, and bringeth them up by themselves to a high mountain apart; and was transfigured before them:

3 and his raiment shone, being exceeding white as snow, so as no fuller on earth can whiten.

4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.

5 Then said Peter to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: let us make three tabernacles; one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias:

6 for he knew not what to say, for they were sore afraid.

7 And there was a cloud overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, hear ye Him.

8 And immediately looking round about, they saw no more of any one, but Jesus alone with them.

9 And as they came down from the mountain, He charged them to tell no one what they had seen, till after the Son of man were risen from the dead.

10 And they laid hold on that expression, querying among themselves, what means the rising from the dead?

11 Then they asked Him, saying, Why do the scribes say, that Elias must come first?

12 And He answered and told them, Elias doth indeed come first, and settle all things: He told them likewise how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things and be used contemptuously.

13 But I tell you, that Elias is come, and they have done to him whatever they would, as it is written of him.
