2 (A)Six days later, Jesus *took with Him (B)Peter and (a)James and John, and *brought them up on a high mountain by themselves. And He was transfigured before them; 3 and (C)His garments became radiant and exceedingly white, as no launderer on earth can whiten them. 4 Elijah appeared to them along with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus. 5 Peter *said to Jesus, “(D)Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; (E)let us make three (b)tabernacles, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 6 For he did not know what to answer; for they became terrified. 7 Then a cloud (c)formed, overshadowing them, and (F)a voice (d)came out of the cloud, “(G)This is My beloved Son, (e)listen to Him!” 8 All at once they looked around and saw no one with them anymore, except Jesus alone.
