Luke 9:28–36

The Transfiguration

²⁸About eight days after these words, ⁿHe took along Peter, John, and James ^oand went up on the mountain to pray. ^p29As He was praying, the appearance of His face changed, ^qand His clothes became dazzling white. ^r30Suddenly, two men were talking with Him—Moses and Elijah. ³¹They appeared in glory and were speaking of His death, ^swhich He was about to accomplish in Jerusalem.

³²Peter and those with him were in a deep sleep, ^tuand 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, ^vit’s good for us to be here! Let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he said. ^w

³⁴While he was saying this, a cloud appeared and overshadowed ^xthem. They became afraid as they entered the cloud. ³⁵Then a voice came from the cloud, ^ysaying:

This is My Son, ^zthe Chosen One; ^ab

listen to Him! ^c

³⁶After the voice had spoken, only Jesus was found. They kept silent, and in those days told no one what they had seen.
