5. While he was still speaking, look, a bright cloud overshadowed them. A voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son whom I dearly love. I am very pleased with him. Listen to him!"
6. Hearing this, the disciples fell on their faces, filled with awe.
7. But Jesus came and touched them. "Get up," he said. "Don’t be afraid."
8. When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.
9. As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, "Don’t tell anybody about the vision until the Human One is raised from the dead."
10. The disciples asked, "Then why do the legal experts say that Elijah must first come?"
11. Jesus responded, "Elijah does come first and will restore all things.
12. In fact, I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they didn’t know him. But they did to him whatever they wanted. In the same way the Human One is also going to suffer at their hands."
13. Then the disciples realized he was telling them about John the Baptist.
14. When they came to the crowd, a man met Jesus. He knelt before him,
15. saying, "Lord, show mercy to my son. He is epileptic and suffers terribly, for he often falls into the fire or the water.
16. I brought him to your disciples, but they couldn’t heal him."
17. Jesus answered, "You faithless and crooked generation, how long will I be with you? How long will I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me."
