Matthew 17:1-8 ▼

1 And, after six days, Jesus taketh with Him Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart;

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

4 And Peter, answering, said to Jesus," Lord, it is good that we are here. If Thou wilt, I will make here three tents—one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

5 While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And, behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in Whom I delighted; hear Him."

6 And the disciples, hearing it , fell on their face, and were exceedingly afraid.

7 And Jesus came near, and, touching them, said, "Arise, and be not afraid."

8 And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus only.
