SCRIPTURE
Matthew 17: 1-9
1 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John
and led them up a high mountain, by themselves. 2 And he was
transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes
became dazzling white. 3 Suddenly there appeared to them Moses and
Elijah, talking with him. 4 Then Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it
is good for us to be here; if you wish, I will make three dwellings here, one
for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." 5 While he was
still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud a
voice said, "This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased;
listen to him!" 6 When the disciples heard this, they fell to
the ground and were overcome by fear. 7 But Jesus came and touched
them, saying, "Get up and do not be afraid." 8 And when
they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus himself alone. 9 As they
were coming down the mountain, Jesus ordered them, "Tell no one about the
vision until after the Son of Man has been raised from the dead."
