Matthew 17:1-9

Christ revealed as God's beloved Son 

17:1Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain, by themselves.

17:2And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became bright as light.

17:3Suddenly there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him.

17:4Then Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I will set up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

17:5While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him!"

17:6When the disciples heard this, they fell to the ground and were overcome by fear.

17:7But Jesus came and touched them, saying, "Get up and do not be afraid."

17:8And when they raised their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus himself alone.

17:9As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus ordered them, "Tell no one about the vision until after the Son of Man has been raised from the dead."
