The Transfiguration
Jesus took with him Peter and John and James and went up the mountain to pray. As he prayed, the aspect of
his face was changed and his clothing became brilliant as lightning. Suddenly there were two men there
talking to him; they were Moses and Elijah appearing in glory, and they were speaking of his passing which
he was to accomplish in Jerusalem. Peter and his companions were heavy with sleep, but they kept awake and
saw his glory and the two men standing with him. As these were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is
wonderful for us to be here; so let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." - He did
not know what he was saying. As he spoke, a cloud came and covered them with shadow; and when they went
into the cloud the disciples were afraid. And a voice came from the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, the Chosen
One. Listen to him." And after the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They disciples kept silence and, at
that time, told no one what they had seen.
Luke 9: 28 - 36
