NgokukaMarku 9:1-8

Wayesethi kubo: “Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Bakhona abanye kwabemi lapha abangayikuzwa ngempela ukufa, baze babone umbuso kaNkulunkulu ufikile ngamandla.” Emva kwezinsuku eziyisithupha uJesu wathatha oPetru, noJakobe, noJohane, wakhuphukela nabo entabeni ende bebodwa; waphenduka esinye isimo phambi kwabo. Izingubo zakhe zacwazimula zaba mhlophe qwa, ngangokuba umhlanzi wasemhlabeni angezenze zibe mhlophe kangaka. Kwabonakala kubo u-Eliya enoMose; babekhuluma noJesu. Wathatha uPetru, wathi kuJesu: “Rabi, kuhle ukuba silapha; masakhe amadokodo amathathu, elinye libe ngelakho, elinye libe ngelikaMose, elinye libe ngelika-Eliya.” Wayengazi ukuthi uzakuphendula ngokuthini, ngokuba babesaba kakhulu. Kwase kufika ifu, libasithibeza; kwavela izwi efwini, lithi: “Lo uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo; yizweni.” Kwathi masinyane beqalaza, ababe besabona muntu, kuphela uJesu yedwa enabo.
