Matthew 17:1–9
1After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.↗
2He was changed before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.↗
3Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.↗
4Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let’s make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”↗
5While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.”↗
6When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.↗
7Jesus came and touched them and said,“Get up, and don’t be afraid.”↗
8Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.↗
9As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying,“Don’t tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.”↗
