Rick Stuhmer

(Mt 17:1–8; Mk 9:2–8; 2 Pet 1:16–18)

28 Now about eight days after these sayings Jesus took with him Peter and John

and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. 29 And while he was praying, the

appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white.

30 Suddenly they saw two men, Moses and Elijah, talking to him. 31 They appeared

in glory and were speaking of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at

Jerusalem. 32 Now Peter and his companions were weighed down with sleep; but

since they had stayed awake, they saw his glory and the two men who stood with

him. 33 Just as they were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us

to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for

Elijah”—not knowing what he said. 34 While he was saying this, a cloud came and

overshadowed them; and they were terrified as they entered the cloud. 35 Then

from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!”

36 When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and in

those days told no one any of the things they had seen.
