But Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said.

others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that a prophet of old had arisen.

One day as Jesus was praying in private and the disciples were with Him, He questioned them: “Who do the crowds say I am?”

They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that a prophet of old has arisen.”

“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.

About eight days after Jesus had said these things, He took with Him Peter, John, and James, and went up on a mountain to pray.

And as He was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and His clothes became radiantly white.

Suddenly two men, Moses and Elijah, began talking with Jesus.

As Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)

All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.”

Then Jesus turned to the disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
