Mark 9:2-13

2 Six days later, Yeshua took Kefa, Ya`akov and Yochanan and led them up a high mountain privately. As they watched, he began to change form,
3 and his clothes became dazzlingly white, whiter than anyone in the world could possibly bleach them.
4 Then they saw Eliyahu and Moshe speaking with Yeshua.
5 Kefa said to Yeshua, "It's good that we're here, Rabbi! Let's put up three shelters -- one for you, one for Moshe and one for Eliyahu."
6 (He didn't know what to say, they were so fright ened.)
7 Then a cloud enveloped them; and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!"
8 Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Yeshua.
9 As they came down the mountain, he warned them not to tell anyone what they had seen until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10 So they kept the matter to themselves; but they continued asking each other, "What is this `rising from the dead'?"
11 They also asked him, "Why do the Torah-teachers say that Eliyahu has to come first?"
12 "Eliyahu will indeed come first," he answered, "and he will restore everything. Nevertheless, why is it written in the Tanakh that the Son of Man must suffer much and be rejected?
13 There's more to it: I tell you that Eliyahu has come, and they did whatever they pleased to him, just as the Tanakh says about him."

Luke 9:28-36

28 About a week after Yeshua said these things, he took Kefa, Yochanan and Ya`akov with him and went up to the hill country to pray.
29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed; and his clothing became gleaming white.
30 Suddenly there were two men talking with him -- Moshe and Eliyahu!
31 They appeared in glorious splendor and spoke of his exodus, which he was soon to accomplish in Yerushalayim.
32 Kefa and those with him had been sound asleep; but on becoming fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.
33 As the men were leaving Yeshua, Kefa said to him, not knowing what he was saying, "It's good that we're here, Rabbi! Let's put up three shelters -- one for you, one for Moshe and one for Eliyahu."
34 As he spoke, a cloud came and enveloped them. They were frightened as they entered the cloud;
35 and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to him!"
36 When the voice spoke, Yeshua was alone once more. They kept quiet -- at that time they told no one anything of what they had seen.
