The Transfiguration

1 ^aSix days later, Jesus *took with Him ^bPeter and ^{▼▼Or Jacob}James, and his brother John, and *led them up on a high mountain by themselves. 2 And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light. 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. 4 Peter responded and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If You want, ^dI will make three ^{▼▼Or sacred tents}tabernacles here: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, ^fa voice from the cloud said, “ ^gThis is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to Him!” 6 When the disciples heard this, they fell ^{▼▼Lit on their faces}face down to the ground and were terrified. 7 And Jesus came to them and touched them and said, “Get up, and ⁱdo not be afraid.” 8 And raising their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus Himself alone.
