5. While Peter was talking, a bright cloud came over them. A voice came from the cloud and said, “This is my Son, the one I love. I am very pleased with him. Obey him!”
6. The followers with Jesus heard this voice. They were very afraid, so they fell to the ground.
7. But Jesus came to them and touched them. He said, “Stand up. Don’t be afraid.”
8. The followers looked up, and they saw that Jesus was now alone.
9. As Jesus and the followers were coming down the mountain, he gave them this command: “Don’t tell anyone about what you saw on the mountain. Wait until the Son of Man has been raised from death. Then you can tell people about what you saw.”
10. The followers asked Jesus, “Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come before the Messiah comes?”
