17 After six days, Yeshua took Peter, and Yacob and his brother Yohan, and they went up a high hill by themselves, 2 and Yeshua was changed in front of them so that his face shone like the sun and his clothes became as white as the light. 3 Then look, Mosheh and Eliyah appeared and they could see them talking with Yeshua. 4 Then Peter spoke up and said to Yeshua, “Master, it’s good that we’re here. If you want, I could make three shelters here: one for you and one for Mosheh and one for Eliyah.”

5 [ref]While he was still speaking, a bright cloud came over the top of them and wow, a voice came out of the cloud saying, “This is my dear son that I get great pleasure from. Just listen to him.”

6 When the three apprentices heard the voice, they lay face down and were extremely scared. 7 But Yeshua went across to them, and touching them he said, “Get up now and don’t be afraid,” 8 and when they looked around, they didn’t see anyone other than Yeshua himself.

9 As they started heading down the hill, Yeshua instructed them, “Don’t tell anyone what you saw until after humanity’s child comes back to life.”

10 [ref]So his apprentices asked him, “Why do the religious teachers say that Eliyah has to come before the messiah?”

11 “In a way, Eliyah is coming” he said, “and he will restore everything. 12 [ref]But I’m also telling you that in another way, Eliyah already came and they didn’t recognise him, but they mistreated him just however they wanted, and humanity’s child will suffer from their actions like that too.”

13 Then the apprentices realised that he was talking to them about Yohan-the-immerser.
