Matthew 17:7-10

J.B. Phillips New Testament

^6-7 When they heard this voice the disciples fell on their faces, overcome with fear. Then Jesus came up to them and touched them.

⁸ “Get up and don’t be frightened,” he said. And as they raised their eyes there was no one to be seen but Jesus himself.

^9-10 On their way down the hill-side Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about what they had seen until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead. Then the disciples demanded, “Why is it, then, that the scribes always say Elijah must come first?”
