Matthew 17:1-9 (Gospel, Transfiguration)
- 1
- Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves;
- 2
- and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.
- 3
- And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.
- 4
- Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
- 5
- While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!”
- 6
- And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid.
- 7
- But Jesus came and touched them and said, “Arise, and do not be afraid.”
- 8
- When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.
- 9
- Now as they came down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man is risen from the dead.”
