Mark 9:4

ElijahJesusMoses

2 After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There He was transfigured before them.

3 His clothes became radiantly white, brighter than any launderer on earth could bleach them.

And Elijah and Moses appeared before them, talking with Jesus.

5 Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters —one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

6 For they were all so terrified that Peter did not know what else to say.
