28zNow it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray. 29As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening. 30And behold, two men talked with Him, who were aMoses and bElijah, 31who appeared in glory and spoke of His 3decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. 32But Peter and those with him cwere heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who stood with Him. 33Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three 4tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he said.

34While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were fearful as they entered the dcloud. 35And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, e“This is 5My beloved Son. fHear Him!” 36When the voice had ceased, Jesus was found alone. gBut they kept quiet, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.
