28 2 P 1.17,18About a week after he had said these things, Jesus took Peter, John, and Jameswith him and went up a hill to pray. 29 While he was praying, his face changed its appearance, and his clothes became dazzling white. 30 Suddenly two men were there talking with him. They were Mosesand Elijah, 31 who appeared in heavenly glory and talked with Jesus about the way in which he would soon fulfill God’s purpose by dying in Jerusalem. 32 Peterand his companions were sound asleep, but they woke up and saw Jesus' glory and the two men who were standing with him. 33 As the men were leaving Jesus, Petersaid to him, "Master, how good it is that we are here! We will make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." (He did not really know what he was saying.)
34 While he was still speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them with its shadow; and the disciples were afraid as the cloud came over them. 35 Is 42.1;Mt 3.17;12.18;Mk 1.11;Lk 3.22A voice said from the cloud, "This is my Son, whom I have chosen—listen to him!"
36 When the voice stopped, there was Jesusall alone. The disciples kept quiet about all this and told no one at that time anything they had seen.
