Matthew 17:1-7 ▼

1 After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.

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

3 And look, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.

4 Peter answered, and said to Jesus, |Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let us make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.|

5 While he was still speaking, look, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And look, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, |This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.|

6 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.

7 Jesus came and touched them and said, |Get up, and do not be afraid.|
