Six days later, Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John with him, and led them up a tall mountain where they were alone.

Jesus’ appearance changed before them: his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as snow.

Then suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus.

Peter spoke up and said to Jesus:

“Master, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will set up three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

Peter was still speaking when a bright cloud covered them with its shadow, and a voice from the cloud said:

“This is my Son, the Beloved, my Chosen One. Listen to him.”

Hearing the voice, the disciples fell to the ground full of fear.

But Jesus came, touched them, and said:

“Stand up, do not be afraid!”

When they looked up, they saw no one else except Jesus.

And as they came down the mountain, Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.
