Jesus took Peter, James and John with Him and went up into a high
mountain to pray. And as He was praying, He was transfigured before
them, and His face did shine as the sun, and His garments became white
as snow. And they saw Moses and Elijah, who spoke with Him about His
sufferings and death, which awaited Him in Jerusalem. Peter said: Lord,
it is good for us to be here. If Thou wilt we will make three
tabernacles, one for Thee, one for Moses and one for Elijah. While he
was yet speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out
of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased;
hear ye Him. And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face,
and were sore afraid. But Jesus came and touched them and said: Arise,
and be not afraid. And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, save
Jesus only. (Matt. 17:1-8; Mark 9:2-8; Luke 9:28-36.)
