Matthew 17:2-9
17:2 And he was transfigured before them.
His
face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light.
17:3 Then Moses
and Elijah
also appeared before them, talking with him.
17:4 So
Peter said
to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, I will make
three shelters
– one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
17:5 While he was still speaking, a
bright cloud
overshadowed
them, and a voice from the cloud said,
“This is my one dear Son,
in whom I take great delight. Listen to him!”
17:6 When the disciples heard this, they were overwhelmed with fear and threw themselves down with their faces to the ground.
17:7 But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Do not be afraid.”
17:8 When
they looked up, all they saw was Jesus alone.
17:9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Do not tell anyone about the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.”
