Luke 9:26-36

26 For 1whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed 2when he comes in 3his glory and the glory of the Father and of 4the holy angels.
27 But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not 5taste death 6until they see the kingdom of God."

The Transfiguration

28 7Now about eight days after these sayings he took with him 8Peter and John and James and 9went up on the mountain to pray.
29 And as he was praying, the appearance of his face was 10altered, and 11his clothing became dazzling white.
30 And behold, two men were talking with him, Moses and Elijah,
31 who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure,[a] which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 Now Peter and those who were with him 12were heavy with sleep, but when they became fully awake 13they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him.
33 And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good that we are here. Let us make three 14tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah"--15not knowing what he said.
34 As he was saying these things, 16a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
35 And 17a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, 18my Chosen One;[b]19 listen to him!"
36 And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. 20And they kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.
