Matthew 17:1-5

The Transfiguration

1 ¹And after six days Jesus took with him ²Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.

2 And he was ³transfigured before them, and ⁴his face shone like the sun, and ⁵his clothes became white as light.

3 And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him.

4 And Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for ⁶Elijah."

5 He was still speaking when, behold, ⁷a bright cloud overshadowed them, and ⁸a voice from the cloud said, ⁹"This is my beloved Son,^[a] with whom I am well pleased; ¹⁰listen to him."
