New King James Version

Mark 9:6-11 New King James Version (NKJV)

6. because he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid.

7. And a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!”

8. Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves.

9. Now as they came down from the mountain, He commanded them that they should tell no one the things they had seen, till the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

10. So they kept this word to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant.

11. And they asked Him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
