After
six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother
of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There
he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun,
and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there
appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus…
While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and
a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, whom I love;
with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!" When the disciples
heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. But Jesus
came and touched them. "Get up," he said. "Don't
be afraid." When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.
