The Transfiguration

17 ^(A)Six days later, Jesus *took with Him ^(B)Peter and ^[a]James, and his brother John, and *led them up on a high mountain by themselves. ²And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light. ³And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. ⁴Peter responded and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If You want, ^(C)I will make three ^[b]tabernacles here: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” ⁵While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, ^(D)a voice from the cloud said, “^(E)This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to Him!” ⁶When the disciples heard this, they fell ^[c]face down to the ground and were terrified. ⁷And Jesus came to them and touched them and said, “Get up, and ^(F)do not be afraid.” ⁸And raising their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus Himself alone.

The Transfiguration

²⁸^(A)About eight days after these sayings, He took along ^(B)Peter, John, and James, and ^(C)went up on the mountain ^(D)to pray. ²⁹And while He was ^(E)praying, the appearance of His face ^(F)became different, and His clothing became white and ^[a]gleaming. ³⁰And behold, two men were talking with Him; and they were Moses and Elijah, ³¹who, appearing in ^[b]glory, were speaking of His ^(G)departure, which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. ³²Now Peter and his companions ^(H)had been overcome with sleep; but when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who were standing with Him. ³³And as ^[c]these two men were leaving Him, Peter said to Jesus, “^(I)Master, it is good that we are here; and ^(J)let’s make three ^[d]tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—^(K)not realizing what he was saying. ³⁴But while he was saying this, a cloud ^[e]formed and began to overshadow them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. ³⁵And then ^(L)a voice came from the cloud, saying, “^(M)This is My Son, My Chosen One; listen to Him!” ³⁶And when the voice ^[f]had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And ^(N)they kept silent, and reported to no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.
