1. Emva kwezinsuku eziyisithupha uJesu wathatha oPetru, noJakobe, noJohane umfowabo, wakhuphukela nabo entabeni ende bebodwa.
2. Waphenduka esinye isimo phambi kwabo; ubuso bakhe bakhanya njengelanga, izingubo zakhe zaba mhlophe njengokukhanya.
3. Bheka, kwabonakala kubo oMose no-Eliya bekhuluma naye.
4. Wathatha uPetru wathi kuJesu: “Nkosi, kuhle ukuba silapha. Uma uthanda, ngizakwakha lapha amadokodo amathathu, elinye libe ngelakho, elinye libe ngelikaMose, elinye libe ngelika-Eliya.”
5. Esakhuluma, bheka ifu elikhanyayo labasithibeza; bheka, kwavela izwi efwini, lathi: “Lo uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo engithokozile ngayo; yizweni.”
6. Kuthe sebezwa lokho abafundi, bawa ngobuso babo, besaba kakhulu.
7. Kepha uJesu wasondela, wabathinta, wathi: “Sukumani, ningesabi.”
8. Kepha bephakamisa amehlo abo ababonanga muntu, kuphela uJesu yedwa.
9. Besehla entabeni, uJesu wabayala wathi: “Ningatsheli muntu lowo mbono, ize ivuke iNdodana yomuntu kwabafileyo.”
10. Bambuza abafundi, bathi: “Pho, basholoni ababhali ukuthi u-Eliya umelwe ukufika kuqala na?”
