Matthew 17:2-7

2And He was transfiguredG3339 beforeG1715 them; and His faceG4383 shoneG2989 likeG5613 the sunG2246, and His garmentsG2440 becameG1096 as whiteG3022 as lightG5457.

3And beholdG2400, MosesG3475 and ElijahG2243 appearedG3708 to them, talkingG4814 with Him.

4PeterG4074 saidG3004 to JesusG2424, “LordG2962, it is goodG2570 for us to be hereG5602; ifG1487 You wishG2309, 1I will makeG4160 threeG5140 2tabernaclesG4633 hereG5602, oneG1520 for You, and oneG1520 for MosesG3475, and oneG1520 for ElijahG2243.”

5While he was stillG2089 speakingG2980, a brightG5460 cloudG3507 overshadowedG1982 them, and beholdG2400, 3a voiceG5456 out of the cloudG3507 saidG3004, “4ThisG3778 is My belovedG27 SonG5207, with whomG3739 I amG2106 well-pleasedG2106; listenG191 to Him!”

6When the disciplesG3101 heardG191 this, they fellG4098 5faceG4383 down to the ground and were terrifiedG5399.

7And JesusG2424 cameG4334 to them and touchedG681 them and saidG3004, “GetG1452 up, and 6do not be afraidG5399.”
