Contextual Overview
1 And he was saying to them: Verily, say unto you - There, are, certain of those here standing, who shall in nowise taste of death, until they see the kingdom of God, already come in power. 2 And, after six days, Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and bringeth them up into a high mountain, apart, alone, - and he was transformed before them; 3 and his garments became brilliant, exceeding white, such as, no fuller on the earth, is able, so, to whiten. 4 And there appeared unto them Elijah, with Moses, - and they were conversing with Jesus. 5 And Peter, answering, saith unto Jesus - Rabbi! it is, delightful, for us to be, here, - let us therefore make three tents, for thee, one, and, for Moses, one, and, for Elijah, one; 6 for he knew not what he should answer, for, greatly affrighted, had they become. 7 And there came a cloud, overshadowing them, and there came a voice, out of the cloud, - This is, my Son, the Beloved, Be hearkening unto him. 8 And, suddenly looking round, no longer, saw they, anyone, with them, save, Jesus only. 9 And, as they were coming down out of the mountain, he charged them, that, unto no one, they should narrate what they had seen, save whenever the Son of man, from among the dead should arise. 10 And, the word, they held fast unto themselves, discussing what was, the rising from among the dead.
