THE TRANSFIGURATION

Jesus predicts His death, and after six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John (the two sons of Zebedee) and led them up a high mountain by themselves.

There He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the Sun, and His clothes became as white as light.

Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.

Peter said to Jesus, "Lord it is good for us to be here. I will put up three shelters, one for You, one for Moses and one for Elijah."

While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is My Son, whom I love. With Him I am well pleased. Listen to Him!" When the disciples heard this they fell facedown on the ground, terrified. But Jesus came and touched them.
"Get up", He said, "Don't be afraid."

When they looked, they saw no one except Jesus.

As they were coming down the Mountain, Jesus instructed them. "Don't tell anyone what you have seen until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead."
