Mateus 17

The Transfiguration

1 After six days  * 17:1–8 Mk 9:2–8; Lk 9:28–36 Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John and led them up on a high mountain by themselves.  * 17:1 Mt 26:37; Mk 5:372 He was transfigured in front of them, and his face shone like the sun; his clothes became as white as the light.  * 17:2 Ps 104:2; Dn 7:9; Mt 28:3; 2Co 3:18; Rv 1:16; 10:13 Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with him. 4 Then Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it’s good for us to be here. If you want, I will set up  * 17:4 Other mss read Let’s make three shelters here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."  * 17:4 Mk 9:5; Lk 9:33

5 While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud covered  * 17:5 Or enveloped; Ex 40:34–35 them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him! "  * 17:5 Is 42:1; Mt 3:17; Mk 1:11; Lk 3:22; Ac 3:22; 2Pt 1:16–18
