Matthew 17:1–13

1And after six days Jesus takes Peter, James, and John his brother, and brings them up into an high moun­tain apart, 2And was trans­fig­ured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his rai­ment was white as the light. 3And, behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elias talk­ing with him. 4Then answered Peter, and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if you will, let us make here three taber­na­cles; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 5While he yet spoke, behold, a bright cloud over­shad­owed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear you him. 6And when the dis­ci­ples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. 7And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. 8And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. 9And as they came down from the moun­tain, Jesus charged them, say­ing, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead. 10And his dis­ci­ples asked him, say­ing, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? 11And Jesus answered and said to them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. 12But I say to you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done to him what­ever they listed. Like­wise shall also the Son of man suf­fer of them. 13Then the dis­ci­ples under­stood that he spoke to them of John the Bap­tist. (AKJV)
