extremely white, so that no fuller on the earth could whiten them.
[9:4]And Elijah appeared to them; with Moses, and they conversed with
Jesus. [9:5]And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for
us to be here; and we will make three tabernacles, one for you, and one
for Moses, and one for Elijah; [9:6]for he knew not what he answered,

2 [9:9]And coming down from the mountain he charged them to tell no man
what they had seen, till the Son of man should have risen from the
