Summary
Throughout Mark 9:1-13, Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up a mountain. There he transforms in front of them into dazzling and extremely white and Moses and Elijah appear talking to him. Then, God’s voice is heard from a cloud saying, “This is My beloved Son; listen to Him!” After that, Jesus transforms back and says to not say anything until he has risen from the dead, and the disciples were puzzled about what that meant. They then asked Jesus why Elijah must come first. Jesus answered saying,“Elijah does come first and restores everything”
