Matthew 17:2-9

2Jesus’ appearance changed in front of them. His face became as bright as the sun and his clothes as white as light.

3Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared to them and were talking with Jesus.

4Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it’s good that we’re here. If you want, I’ll put up three tents here—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

5He was still speaking when a bright cloud overshadowed them. Then a voice came out of the cloud and said, “This is my Son, whom I love and with whom I am pleased. Listen to him!”

6The disciples were terrified when they heard this and fell facedown on the ground.

7But Jesus touched them and said, “Get up, and don’t be afraid!”

8As they raised their heads, they saw no one but Jesus.

9On their way down the mountain, Jesus ordered them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen. Wait until the Son of Man has been brought back to life.”
