Matthew 17:1-8 ▼

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

2 His appearance was changed in front of them, his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as light.

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

4 Then Peter told Jesus, |Lord, it's good that we're here! If you want, I'll set up three shelters —one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.|

5 He was still speaking when a bright cloud suddenly overshadowed them. A voice from the cloud said, |This is my Son, whom I love. I am pleased with him. Keep on listening to him!|

6 When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were terrified.

7 But Jesus came up to them and touched them, saying, |Get up, and stop being afraid.|

8 When they raised their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus all by himself.
