Matthew 17:1-8

1 Six days later, three of them saw that glory. Jesus took Peter and the brothers, James and John, and led them up a high mountain.
2 His appearance changed from the inside out, right before their eyes. Sunlight poured from his face. His clothes were filled with light.
3 Then they realized that Moses and Elijah were also there in deep conversation with him.
4 Peter broke in, "Master, this is a great moment! What would you think if I built three memorials here on the mountain - one for you, one for Moses, one for Elijah?"
5 While he was going on like this, babbling, a light-radiant cloud enveloped them, and sounding from deep in the cloud a voice: "This is my Son, marked by my love, focus of my delight. Listen to him."
6 When the disciples heard it, they fell flat on their faces, scared to death.
7 But Jesus came over and touched them. "Don't be afraid."
8 When they opened their eyes and looked around all they saw was Jesus, only Jesus.
