The transfiguration
1 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his
brother John and led them up a high mountain on their own. 2
In their presence he was transfigured: his face shone like the sun and
his clothes became as dazzling as light. 3 And suddenly Moses and
Elijah appeared to them, talking with him. 4 Then Peter spoke to
Jesus, saying, ‘Lord, it is wonderful for us to be here; if you want me
to, I will make three shelters here, one for you, one for Moses and
one for Elijah.’ 5 He was still speaking when suddenly a bright cloud
covered them with shadow, and suddenly from the cloud there came
a voice which said, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour.
Listen to him.’ 6 When they heard this, the disciples fell on their
faces, overcome with fear. 7 But Jesus came up and touched them,
saying, ‘Stand up, do not be afraid.’ 8 And when they raised their
eyes they saw no one but Jesus himself, alone.
9 As they came down from the mountain Jesus gave them this
order, ‘Tell no one about this vision until the Son of man has risen
from the dead.’
