Peter » Present » At the transfiguration
For it was not mere stories of fancy that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. For when He received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory there was borne to Him a voice like this, "This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom I take delight," we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven while we were with Him on that sacred mountain.

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.

Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and He said to the disciples, "Sit down here while I go over yonder and pray."

Then He walked on a few steps and threw Himself upon His face, and in this attitude continued to pray, and say, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass by me; and yet, I pray, not what I want but what you want." Then He came back to the disciples and found them asleep. He said to Peter, "Could you not then watch with me a single hour? You must all keep watching and praying that you may not be exposed to temptation. Man's spirit is willing but human nature is weak." A second time He went away and prayed, "My Father, if it cannot pass by without my drinking it, your will be done." He came back again and found them still sleeping, for their eyes were so heavy they could hardly hold them open. Then He left them again and prayed the third time, using the same words. After that He came back to the disciples and said to them: "Still sleeping! Still resting! See! The time has come for the Son of Man to be betrayed into the hands of sinful men! Get up and let us be going. Look! Here comes my betrayer!"

Get up, let us be going. Look! here comes my betrayer!"
