Luke
9:28-42 (NRSV)
Some eight days after
these sayings, He took along Peter and John and James, and went up
on the mountain to pray. And while He was praying, the appearance of
His face became different, and His clothing became white and
gleaming. And behold, two men were talking with Him; and they were
Moses and Elijah, who, appearing in glory, were speaking of His
departure which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
Now Peter and his
companions had been overcome with sleep; but when they were fully
awake, they saw His glory and the two men standing with Him. And as
these were leaving Him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for
us to be here; let us make three tabernacles: one for You, and one
for Moses, and one for Elijah"--not realizing what he was saying.
While he was saying this, a cloud formed and began to overshadow
them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. Then a voice
came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My Son, My Chosen One;
listen to Him!" And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found
alone. And they kept silent, and reported to no one in those days
any of the things which they had seen.
