Context
The Transfiguration
9:28 Now about eight days after these sayings , Jesus took with him Peter , John , and James , and went up the mountain to pray .
9:29 As he was praying , the appearance of his face was transformed , and his clothes became very bright, a brilliant white .
9:30 Then two men , Moses and Elijah , began talking with him .
9:31 They appeared in glorious splendor and spoke about his departure that he was about to carry out at Jerusalem .
9:32 Now Peter and those with him were quite sleepy , but as they became fully awake , they saw his glory and the two men standing with him .
9:33 Then as the men were starting to leave , Peter said to Jesus , “Master , it is good for us to be here . Let us make three shelters , one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah ”– not knowing what he was saying .
9:34 As he was saying this , a cloud came and overshadowed them , and they were afraid as they entered the cloud .
9:35 Then a voice came from the cloud , saying , “This is my Son , my Chosen One . Listen to him !”
9:36 After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone . So they kept silent and told no one at that time anything of what they had seen .
