2. And he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light.
3. Then Moses and Elijah also appeared before them, talking with him.
4. So Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, I will make three shelters – one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
5. While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my one dear Son, in whom I take great delight. Listen to him!”
6. When the disciples heard this, they were overwhelmed with fear and threw themselves down with their faces to the ground.
7. But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Do not be afraid.”
8. When they looked up, all they saw was Jesus alone.
9. As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Do not tell anyone about the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.”
10. The disciples asked him, “Why then do the experts in the law say that Elijah must come first?”
11. He answered, “Elijah does indeed come first and will restore all things.
12. And I tell you that Elijah has already come. Yet they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted. In the same way, the Son of Man will suffer at their hands.”
13. Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them about John the Baptist.
14. When they came to the crowd, a man came to him, knelt before him,
15. and said, “Lord, have mercy on my son, because he has seizures and suffers terribly, for he often falls into the fire and into the water.
16. I brought him to your disciples, but they were not able to heal him.”
17. Jesus answered, “You unbelieving and perverse generation! How much longer must I be with you? How much longer must I endure you? Bring him here to me.”
