Mark 9:2-8

The Transfiguration

2 c Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. 3 His clothes became shining, exceedingly d white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them. 4 And Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah" - 6 because he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid. 7 And a e cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is f My beloved Son. g Hear Him!" 8 Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves.
