2. And after six days Jesus takes with him Peter and James and John, and takes them up on a high mountain by themselves apart. And he was transfigured before them:
3. and his garments became shining, exceeding white as snow, such as fuller on earth could not whiten them.
4. And there appeared to them Elias with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
5. And Peter answering says to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good that we should be here; and let us make three tabernacles, for thee one, and for Moses one, and for Elias one.
6. For he knew not what he should say, for they were filled with fear.
7. And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a voice out of the cloud, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
8. And suddenly having looked around, they no longer saw any one, but Jesus alone with themselves.
9. And as they descended from the mountain, he charged them that they should relate to no one what they had seen, unless when the Son of man should be risen from among the dead.
10. And they kept that saying, questioning among themselves, what rising from among the dead was.
11. And they asked him saying, Why do the scribes say that Elias must first have come?
