Matthew 17:1-7 ▼

1 And after six days, Jesus takes along Peter and James and John his brother, and He brings them up onto a high mountain by themselves.

2 And He was transfigured before them, and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became white as the light.

3 And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with Him.

4 And answering, Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If You wish, I will make here three tabernacles—one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

5 In his still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to Him!”

6 And having heard it, the disciples fell upon their face, and they were exceedingly terrified.

7 And Jesus, having come near and having touched them, said, “Rise up, and do not be afraid.”
