Matthew
17:1-9
New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
The Transfiguration
17 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.”
