Luke 9:28–36

The Transfiguration

²⁸Now about eight days after these sayings Jesus^w took with him Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray.^{* 29}And while he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. ³⁰Suddenly they saw two men, Moses and Elijah, talking to him. ³¹They appeared in glory and were speaking about his exodus, which he was about to fulfill in Jerusalem.^{* 32}Now Peter and his companions were weighed down with sleep, but as they awoke they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him.^{* 33}Just as they were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; let us set up three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not realizing what he was saying.^{* 34}While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were terrified as they entered the cloud. ³⁵Then from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my Son, my Chosen;^x listen to him!”^{* 36}When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and in those days told no one any of the things they had seen.^*
