Contextual Overview

¹ I declare unto you, said he, that some of you here present shall not die, till they see the kingdom of the Messiah usher'd in with power. ² Six days after Jesus took Peter, James and John, and accompanied them up a high mountain in private; and was transfigured in their presence. ³ his raiment was of an exceeding bright whiteness, like that of snow, and such as no fuller upon earth could imitate. ⁴ Moses and Elias likewise appear'd, and were in conference with Jesus. ⁵ then Peter thus address'd himself to Jesus, master, it is proper for us to be here: let us make therefore three tabernacles, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elias. ⁶ for he knew not what he said, they were all so frightned. ⁷ then a cloud surrounded them, and a voice from the cloud, said, "this is my beloved son, hear him." ⁸ and instantly looking round about, they did not see any other person but Jesus with them. ⁹ as they were going down the mountain, he order'd them not to tell any body what they had seen, till the son of man was raised from the dead: ¹⁰ an expression which they dwelt upon, asking one another the meaning of "till he was raised from the dead."
