²⁸Now it happened that about eight days after these words, he took along Peter and John and James and^* went up on the mountain to pray. ²⁹And as he was praying, the appearance of his face became different, and his clothing became white, gleaming like lightning.^b ³⁰And behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah, ³¹who appeared in glory and^* were speaking about his departure which he was about to fulfill^c in Jerusalem.

³²Now Peter and those with him were very sleepy,^d but when they^* became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who were standing with him. ³³And it happened that as they were going away from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. And let us make three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he was saying. ³⁴And while^* he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud. ³⁵And a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, my Chosen One. Listen to him!”
