The Transfiguration

9:28-36pp -- Mt 17:1-8; Mk 9:2-8

28 About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James¹ with him and went up onto a mountain to pray.² 29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. 30 Two men, Moses and Elijah, 31 appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. They spoke about his departure,³ which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. 32 Peter and his companions were very sleepy,⁴ but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. 33 As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, "Master,⁵ it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters--one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." (He did not know what he was saying.) 34 While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35 A voice came from the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, whom I have chosen;⁶ listen to him."⁷ 36 When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves, and told no one at that time what they had seen.⁸
