Now about eight days after Jesus said this, He took Peter, John, and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. And while He was praying, the look on His face changed, and His clothes turned dazzling white. And two men were talking with Him. They were Moses and Elijah, read more.
who appeared in splendor and were speaking of His departure which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. Now Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep, but all at once they became wide awake and saw His splendor and the two men who were standing with Him. And just as they were starting to leave Him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah" -- although he did not know what he was saying. But as he was saying this, a cloud came and was circling over them, and they were frightened as the two visitors entered into the cloud. Then a voice came out of the cloud and said, "This is my Son, my Chosen One; continue to listen to Him!" When the voice had ceased, Jesus was found to be alone. And they kept silence and told no one anything that they had seen at that time.

Six days after this, Jesus took Peter and James and his brother John, and led them up on a high mountain, by themselves. And in their presence His appearance was changed and His face shone like the sun, and His clothes turned as white as light. Then Moses and Elijah appeared to them and kept talking with Him. read more.
And Peter interrupted, and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here! If you consent, I will put up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." While he was still speaking, a bright cloud cast its shadow over them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom I am delighted. Keep on listening to Him!" When the disciples heard it, they fell upon their faces, for they were terribly frightened. Then Jesus came and touched them, and said, "Get up and do not be so afraid." They looked up and saw no one but Jesus Himself. And as they were going down the mountain, Jesus warned them, saying, "Never mention to anyone what you have seen until the Son of Man is raised from the dead."
