²⁸About eight days after this conversation,^s he took along Peter, John, and James^t and went up on the mountain to pray.^u ²⁹As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed,^v and his clothes became dazzling white.^w ³⁰Suddenly, two men were talking with him—Moses and Elijah. ³¹They appeared in glory and were speaking of his departure, which he was about to accomplish in Jerusalem.

³²Peter and those with him were in a deep sleep,^D^x and when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who were standing with him. ³³As the two men were departing from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master,^y it’s good for us to be here. Let’s set up three shelters: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he was saying.^z

³⁴While he was saying this, a cloud appeared and overshadowed^aa them. They became afraid as they entered the cloud. ³⁵Then a voice came from the cloud,^ab saying, “This is my Son,^ac the Chosen One;^E^ad listen to him!”^ae

³⁶After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They kept silent, and at that time told no one what they had seen.
