The Transfiguration of Jesus
Now it came to pass, after six days after these sayings Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves to pray.
As He prayed, He was transfigured before them. The appearance of His face was altered [and] shone like the sun, and His clothes became shining and glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, as white as the light, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus, who appeared in glory and spoke of His decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
But Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who stood with Him. Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”— not knowing what he said because he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid.
While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were fearful as they entered the cloud. And suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “ This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!” And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. When the voice had ceased, Jesus came and touched them and said, “Arise, and do not be afraid.” When they had lifted up their eyes [and] had looked around, they saw no one but Jesus only with themselves.
