Jesus took with him Peter, John and James and went up onto a
mountain to pray.  While Jesus was praying, his face changed in
appearance and the clothes he wore became dazzlingly white.
Suddenly two people were there talking with Jesus – Moses and
Elijah.  They appeared in glory and spoke of the prophecy that Jesus
was about to fulfill in Jerusalem.

Peter and the others had already fallen into a deep sleep, but
awakening, they saw Jesus’ glory – and the two people who were
standing next to him.  When the two were leaving, Peter said to Jesus,
“Rabbi, how good it is for us to be here!  Let’s set up three tents, one
for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah!”  Peter didn’t really know
what he was saying.

While Peter was speaking, a cloud came and overshadowed them,
and the disciples grew fearful as the others entered it.  Then from the
cloud came a voice which said, “This is my Own, my Chosen One.
Listen to him!”  When the voice finished speaking, they saw no one
but Jesus standing there.  The disciples kept quiet, telling nothing of
what they had seen at that time to anyone.
