Matthew 17a (Baritone Community Cover)

[Please support the official release] Six days later Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up a high mountain by themselves. He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as brilliant as the light. Behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah talking with him. Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you desire, I will make here three shelters—one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah." While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, there was a voice out of the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him." When the disciples heard it, they fell facedown and were very afraid. Then Jesus came and touched them and said, "Get up and do not be afraid." Then they looked up but saw no one except Jesus only. As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, "Report this vision to no one until the Son of Man has risen from the dead." His disciples asked him, saying, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?" Jesus answered and said, "Elijah will indeed come and restore all things. But I tell you, Elijah has already come, but they did not recognize him. Instead, they did whatever they wanted to him. In the same way, the Son of Man will also suffer at their hands." Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them about John the Baptist.
