Matthew 17:1-8 ▼

1 After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John and led them up on a high mountain by themselves.

2 He was transfigured in front of them, and his face shone like the sun; his clothes became as white as the light.

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

4 Then Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it’s good for us to be here. If you want, I will set up three shelters here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

5 While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him! ”

6 When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown and were terrified.

7 Jesus came up, touched them, and said, “Get up; don’t be afraid.”

8 When they looked up they saw no one except Jesus alone.
