The Transfiguration.
Our Lord's Subsequent Discouse With The
Three Disciples
75. Matt 17:1-13
1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his
brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 2
And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as
the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. 3 And,
behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking
with him. 4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord,
it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here
three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one
for Elias. 5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud
overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud,
which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well
pleased; hear ye him. 6 And when the disciples heard it, they
fell on their face, and were sore afraid. 7 And Jesus came
and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. 8 And
when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save
Jesus only. 9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged
them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man
be risen again from the dead. 10 And his disciples asked him,
saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall
first come, and restore all things. 12 But I say unto you, That
Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done
unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son
of man suffer of them. 13 Then the disciples understood that
he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
