Context
9:1 And he said to them , “I tell you the truth , there are some standing here who will not experience death before they see the kingdom of God come with power .”
The Transfiguration
9:2 Six days later Jesus took with him Peter , James , and John and led them alone up a high mountain privately . And he was transfigured before them ,
9:3 and his clothes became radiantly white , more so than any launderer in the world could bleach them.
9:4 Then Elijah appeared before them along with Moses , and they were talking with Jesus .
9:5 So Peter said to Jesus , “Rabbi , it is good for us to be here . Let us make three shelters – one for you , one for Moses , and one for Elijah .”
9:6 (For they were afraid , and he did not know what to say .)
9:7 Then a cloud overshadowed them , and a voice came from the cloud , “This is my one dear Son . Listen to him !”
9:8 Suddenly when they looked around , they saw no one with them any more except Jesus .
