Matthew 17:1-8
The Transfiguration
1 (A)Six days later Jesus *took with Him (B)Peter and (a)James and John his brother, and *led them up on a high mountain by themselves.
2 And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light.
3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.
4 Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, (C)I will make three (b)tabernacles here, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, (D)a voice out of the cloud said, “(E)This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!”
6 When the disciples heard this, they fell (c)face down to the ground and were terrified.
7 And Jesus came to them and touched them and said, “Get up, and (F)do not be afraid.”
8 And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus Himself alone.
