7. And Jesus drew near and touched them. And he said to them, "Rise up and do not be afraid."

9. And as they were descending from the mountain, Jesus instructed them, saying, "Tell no one about the vision, until the Son of man has risen from the dead."

10. And his disciples questioned him, saying, "Why then do the scribes say that it is necessary for Elijah to arrive first?"
