Luke 9:28-36

The Transfiguration

28 ^aSome eight days after these sayings, He took along ^bPeter and John and James, and ^cwent up on the mountain ^dto pray. 29 And while He was ^epraying, the appearance of His face ^fbecame different, and His clothing became white and ^{▼▼ Lit flashing like lightning}gleaming. 30 And behold, two men were talking with Him; and they were Moses and Elijah, 31 who, appearing in ^{▼▼ Or splendor}glory, were speaking of His ⁱdeparture which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. 32 Now Peter and his companions ^jhad been overcome with sleep; but when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men standing with Him. 33 And as ^{▼▼ Lit they}these were leaving Him, Peter said to Jesus, ^l“Master, it is good for us to be here; ^mlet us make three ^{▼▼ Or sacred tents}tabernacles: one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah”— ^onot realizing what he was saying. 34 While he was saying this, a cloud ^{▼▼ Lit occurred}formed and began to overshadow them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35 Then ^qa voice came out of the cloud, saying, ^r“This is My Son, My Chosen One; listen to Him!” 36 And when the voice ^{▼▼ Lit occurred}had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And ^tthey kept silent, and reported to no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.
