Mark 9:2-8

2Six days later, Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. And He was transfigured (changed in form) before them [and began to shine brightly with divine and regal glory];

3and His clothes became radiant and dazzling, intensely white, as no launderer on earth can whiten them.

4Elijah appeared to them along with Moses, and they were having a conversation with Jesus.

5Peter responded and said to Jesus, “Rabbi (Master), it is good for us to be here; let us make three [sacred] tents—one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

6For he did not [really] know what to say because they were terrified [and stunned by the miraculous sight].

7Then a cloud formed, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him and obey Him!”

8Suddenly they looked around and no longer saw anyone with them, except Jesus alone.
