Amplified Bible

Matthew 17:2-9

2And His appearance changed dramatically in their presence; and His face shone [with heavenly glory, clear and bright] like the sun, and His clothing became as white as light.

3And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus.

4Then Peter began to speak and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good and delightful and auspicious that we are here; if You wish, I will put up three [sacred] tents here—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

5While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased and delighted! Listen to Him!”

6When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were terrified.

7But Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up, and do not be afraid.”

8And when they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus Himself alone.

9And as they were going down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Do not tell anyone what you have seen until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”
