Matthew 17:2-9

2Peter, James and John saw Jesus change in front of them. He became different to look at. His face was bright like the sun. His clothes became very white and they shone.

3Then Moses and Elijah appeared in front of the three disciples. They were talking with Jesus.

4Peter said to Jesus, ‘Lord, it is good that we are here. If you want, please let me build three huts. One hut will be for you. One hut will be for Moses and one hut will be for Elijah.’

5While Peter was still speaking, a bright cloud appeared. It covered them all. A voice spoke from the cloud and it said, ‘This is my Son and I love him. He makes me very happy. Listen to him.’

6The disciples heard the voice. They threw themselves down to the ground. They were very frightened.

7But Jesus came to them and he touched them. ‘Stand up,’ he said. ‘Do not be afraid.’

8When they looked up, they could not see anyone else. Only Jesus was there with them.

9While they were walking down the mountain, Jesus said to the three disciples, ‘You must not tell anyone now about the things that you have just seen. One day, the Son of Man will die and then he will become alive again. Then you can tell people about these things.’
