Matthew 17:2-9

2And he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light.

3Then Moses and Elijah also appeared before them, talking with him.

4So Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, I will make three shelters – one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

5While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my one dear Son, in whom I take great delight. Listen to him!”

6When the disciples heard this, they were overwhelmed with fear and threw themselves down with their faces to the ground.

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

8When they looked up, all they saw was Jesus alone.

9As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Do not tell anyone about the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.”
