As they were coming down the mountain, he ordered them to tell no one about what they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead. So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what this rising from the dead could mean. (Mark 9: 9-10)
Three Apostles are walking down a mountain.
John says to his brother James, "What is this parable, this 'rising from the dead?'"
"That's no parable," Peter sputters. "Our dust and bones will be restored along with those of our ancestors."
"Perhaps," says James. "But he almost always has more than one meaning."
"He speaks of ben-Adam - the messiah - as does the prophet Daniel," Peter asserts.
"Or of ben-Adam as in the psalms and Job?" John asks. "Are not each of us sons of Adam?"
Jesus half-listens, shaking his head.
Above is Glad Day by William Blake.
