Matthew 17:1-7

The Transfiguration

1 And after six days Jesus took along Peter and 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 clothing became bright as the light.
3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with him.
4 So Peter answered [and] said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good [that] we are here! If you want, I will make here three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah."
5 [While] he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice from the cloud said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him!"
6 And [when] the disciples heard [this], they fell down on their faces and were extremely frightened.
7 And Jesus came and touched them [and] said, "Get up and do not be afraid."
