The Transfiguration of Jesus (Matthew 17:1-13)

After six days, Jesus led Peter, James and John up a high mountain. There, his appearance changed—his face shone like the sun and his clothes became dazzling white. Moses and Elijah appeared and spoke with Jesus. Peter offered to build shelters for them, but a bright cloud covered the group. A voice from the cloud declared, “This is my Son, whom I love; listen to him!” Terrified, the disciples fell face down until Jesus touched them and told them not to be afraid. On their descent, Jesus warned them not to reveal what they had seen until after his resurrection. When the disciples asked about Elijah’s coming, he explained that Elijah had already come in the person of John the Baptist, who was mistreated just as the Son of Man would be.
