Matthew 17:1-8 ▼

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

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

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

4 And Peter answering said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good to us to be here; if You will, we may make three shelters here: one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

5 While he is yet 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 delighted; hear Him.”

6 And the disciples having heard, fell on their face, and were exceedingly afraid,

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

8 and having lifted up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus only.
