2 Six days later, Yeshua took Peter and Yacob and Yohan, and just the four of them went up onto a high hill. Then he was transformed right in front of their eyes[ref] 3 and his clothes turned incredibly shining white—whiter than any bleach could make them. 4 Then Eliyah and Mosheh appeared beside Yeshua and started talking with him. 5 Peter said to Yeshua, “Teacher, it’s good that we’re here. Maybe we could make three shelters up here: one for you, one for Mosheh, and one for Eliyah?” 6 He said that because they were terrified and didn’t know what to say.

7 Then a cloud shadowed them from the sun, and a voice came out of the cloud saying, “This is my dear son. Listen to him.”[ref] 8 When they looked around, they couldn’t see anyone else there anymore, except for Yeshua himself.

9 As they came down the hill again, Yeshua told them not to tell anyone what had happened up there until after the son of humanity had come back to life.

10 They remembered that, although between all three of them they couldn’t understand the bit about coming back to life, 11 so they asked Yeshua, “Isn’t it written that Eliyah will be the first to return?”[ref]

12 “Yes,” he answered, “Eliyah is indeed the one to come first to start the restoration. But isn’t it also written that the son of humanity will be despised and will suffer a lot? 13 You see, Eliyah has come already, and they treated him just however they liked, just like it was written that it would happen.”
