6 When the disciples heard this, they were terrified. They fell with their faces to the ground.
7 But Jesus came and touched them. "Get up," he said. "Don't be afraid."
8 When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.
9 They came down the mountain. On the way down, Jesus told them what to do. "Don't tell anyone what you have seen," he said. "Wait until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead."
10 The disciples asked him, "Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah has to come first?"
11 Jesus replied, "That's right. Elijah is supposed to come and make all things new again.
12 But I tell you, Elijah has already come. People didn't recognize him. They have done to him everything they wanted to do. In the same way, they are going to make the Son of Man suffer."
