The Transfiguration
The Transfiguration
Jesus takes John, James and Peter up a hill to pray. Jesus walks apart from them, covering His head to pray. But when He does, His appearance changes. His face changes. His clothes become pure white. He starts talking to two men who seem to be with Him. Moses and Elijah speak to Him. One says Jesus will fulfill God's purpose. The other says He will die in Jerusalem. Peter slowly wakes up. He's the first to see Moses and Elijah talking with Jesus. He wakes James and John. They see it too. Moses and Elijah turn and leave, fading away. The disciples fall to their knees and worship Jesus.

ShareAbout eight days after Jesus had said these things, He took with Him Peter, John, and James, and went up on a mountain to pray. And as He was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and His clothes became radiantly white. Suddenly two men, Moses and Elijah, began talking with Jesus. They appeared in glory and spoke about His departure, which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. Meanwhile Peter and his companions were overcome by sleep, but when they awoke, they saw Jesus’ glory and the two men standing with Him. As Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters— one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” ( vvv He did not know what he was saying.) While Peter was speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. And a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to Him!” After the voice had spoken, only Jesus was present with them. The disciples kept this to themselves, and in those days they did not tell anyone what they had seen.
