Mark 9:1-8 ▼

1 Then he told them, |I tell all of you with certainty, some people standing here will not experience death until they see the kingdom of God arrive with power.|

2 Six days later, Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up a high mountain to be alone with him. His appearance was changed in front of them,

3 and his clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone on earth could bleach them.

4 Then Elijah appeared to them, accompanied by Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.

5 Then Peter told Jesus, |Rabbi, it's good that we're here! Let's set up three shelters —one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.|

6 (Peter didn't know how to respond, because they were terrified.)

7 Then a cloud appeared and overshadowed them. A voice came out of the cloud and said, |This is my Son, whom I love. Keep on listening to him!|

8 Suddenly, as they looked around, they saw no one with them but Jesus alone.
