Luke 9:28-36 (Matins Gospel)
- 28
- Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
- 29
- As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening.
- 30
- And behold, two men talked with Him, who were Moses and Elijah,
- 31
- who appeared in glory and spoke of His decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
- 32
- But Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who stood with Him.
- 33
- Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah” – not knowing what he said.
- 34
- While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were fearful as they entered the cloud.
- 35
- And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!”
- 36
- When the voice had ceased, Jesus was found alone. But they kept quiet, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.
