Matthew 17:1-8

11SixG1803 daysG2250 laterG3326, JesusG2424 tookG3880 with Him 2PeterG4074 and 3JamesG2385, and his brotherG80 JohnG2491, and ledG399 them upG399 on a highG5308 mountainG3735 by themselvesG2398. 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 respondedG611 and saidG3004 to JesusG2424, “LordG2962, it is goodG2570 that we are hereG5602. IfG1487 You wantG2309, 4I will makeG4160 threeG5140 5tabernaclesG4633 hereG5602: oneG1520 for You, oneG1520 for MosesG3475, and oneG1520 for ElijahG2243.” 5While he was stillG2089 speakingG2980, a brightG5460 cloudG3507 overshadowedG1982 them, and beholdG2400, 6a voiceG5456 from the cloudG3507 saidG3004, “7ThisG3778 is My belovedG27 SonG5207, with whomG3739 I amG2106 wellG2106 pleasedG2106; listenG191 to Him!” 6When the disciplesG3101 heardG191 this, they fellG4098 8faceG4383 down to the ground and wereG5399 terrifiedG5399G4970. 7And JesusG2424 cameG4334 to them and touchedG681 them and saidG3004, “GetG1453 upG1453, and 9do not beG5399 afraidG5399.” 8And raisingG1869 their eyesG3788, they sawG3708 noG3762 oneG3762 exceptG1508 JesusG2424 HimselfG846 aloneG3441.
