Mark 9:2-13
Six days later Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John and led them alone up a high mountain privately. And he was transfigured before them,and his clothes became radiantly white, more so than any launderer in the world could bleach them.Then Elijah appeared before them along with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.So Peter said to Jesus,“ Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters– one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”( For they were afraid, and he did not know what to say.)Then a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came from the cloud,“ This is my one dear Son. Listen to him!”Suddenly when they looked around, they saw no one with them any more except Jesus.As they were coming down from the mountain, he gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.They kept this statement to themselves, discussing what this rising from the dead meant.Then they asked him,“ Why do the experts in the law say that Elijah must come first?”He said to them,“ Elijah does indeed come first, and restores all things. And why is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be despised?But I tell you that Elijah has certainly come, and they did to him whatever they wanted, just as it is written about him.”

Matthew 17:1-13
Six days later Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John the brother of James, and led them privately up a high mountain.And he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light.Then Moses and Elijah also appeared before them, talking with him.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.”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!”When the disciples heard this, they were overwhelmed with fear and threw themselves down with their faces to the ground.But Jesus came and touched them.“ Get up,” he said.“ Do not be afraid.”When they looked up, all they saw was Jesus alone.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.”The disciples asked him,“ Why then do the experts in the law say that Elijah must come first?”He answered,“ Elijah does indeed come first and will restore all things.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.”Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them about John the Baptist.
