2 [ref]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 changed right in front of their eyes 3 and his clothes turned incredibly shining white—whiter than any bleach could make them. 4 And 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 and one for Mosheh and one for Eliyah?” 6 He said that because they were terrified and didn’t know what to say.

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

9 As they descended again, Yeshua told them to tell no one what had happened up there until after humanity’s child came 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 [ref]They asked Yeshua, “Isn’t it written that Eliyah will be the first to return?”

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

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.

28 It was about eight days later that Yeshua took Peter and Yohan and Yacob, and climbed a hill to pray. 29 While he was praying, the appearance of his face changed and his clothes turned brilliant white. 30 Then, look, there were two men talking with him—Mosheh and Eliyah! 31 Those two who’d been in heaven were talking about the end of his time here which was about to actioned in Yerushalem. 32 Peter and the others had been exhausted and fallen asleep, but when they woke up they saw the radiance of Yeshua and the other two standing there with him, 33 but when it was time for the two to leave, Peter said to Yeshua, “Master, it’s good that we’re here. We could make three shelters: one for you, one for Mosheh, and one for Eliyah.” (But he didn’t really know what he was saying.)

34 While he was still speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them and they were afraid as they entered the fog. 35 [ref]Then a voice came out of the cloud that said, “This is my son, the one that has been chosen. Listen to him.”

36 By the time that the voice had spoken, they could only see Yeshua in front of them. After this event, they kept what had happened to themselves and didn’t tell anyone else about what they had seen.
