The Gospel According to Matthew

And after six days, Jesus took Peter and James, and his brother John, and brought them up into a high mountain apart.

And He was transfigured before them, and His face shone like the sun, and His clothing became white as the light.

And, behold! Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.

And answering, Peter said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here. If You will, let us make three tents here, one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

While he was yet speaking, behold, a radiant cloud overshadowed them. And, behold, a voice out of the cloud saying, This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I delight; hear Him.

And hearing, the disciples fell on their face and were greatly terrified.

And coming near, Jesus touched them and said, Rise up, and do not be terrified.

And lifting up their eyes, they did not see anyone except Jesus alone.

And His disciples asked Him, saying, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?

And answering, Jesus said to them, Elijah indeed comes first and shall restore all things.

But I say to you, Elijah has already come, and they did not know him, but did to him whatever they desired. So also the Son of man is about to suffer by them.

Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them about John the Baptist.

And they coming to the crowd, a man came near to Him, kneeling down to Him, and saying,

Lord, pity my son. For he is moonstruck and suffers miserably. For he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.

And I brought him to Your disciples, and they were not able to heal him.

And answering, Jesus said, O faithless and perverted generation! How long will I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.
