1
After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John (the brother of James) and led them up a high mountain where they could be alone.
2
Jesus' appearance changed in front of them. His face became as bright as the sun and his clothes as white as light.
3
Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared to them and were talking with Jesus.
4
Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it's good that we're here. If you want, I'll put up three tents here--one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
5
He was still speaking when a bright cloud overshadowed them. Then a voice came out of the cloud and said, "This is my Son, whom I love and with whom I am pleased. Listen to him!"
6
The disciples were terrified when they heard this and fell facedown on the ground.
7
But Jesus touched them and said, "Get up, and don't be afraid!"
8
As they raised their heads, they saw no one but Jesus.
9
On their way down the mountain, Jesus ordered them, "Don't tell anyone what you have seen. Wait until the Son of Man has been brought back to life."
