Six days later Jesus took Peter and the two brothers James and John, and led then upon a high mountain to be alone. As the men watched, Jesus’ appearance was transformed so that His face shown like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared and began talking to Jesus.
Peter exclaimed, “Lord, it’s wonderful for us to be here! If you want, I’ll make three shelters as memorials – one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
But even as he spoke, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings Me great joy. Listen to Him.” The disciples were terrified and fell face down on the ground.
Then Jesus cam over and touched them. “Get up,” He said. “Don’t be afraid.” And when they looked up, Moses and Elijah were gone, and they saw only Jesus.
As they went back down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen until the Son of Man has ben raised from the dead.” (vv. 1-9, NLT)
