^27 (A)But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God.”

Jesus Transfigured on the Mount^(B)

^28 (C)Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray. ²⁹ As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening. ³⁰ And behold, two men talked with Him, who were ^(D)Moses and ^(E)Elijah, ³¹ who appeared in glory and spoke of His ^[a]decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. ³² But Peter and those with him ^(F)were heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who stood with Him. ³³ Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three ^[b]tabernacles: 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 fearful as they entered the ^(G)cloud. ³⁵ And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, ^(H)“This is ^[c]My beloved Son. ^(I)Hear Him!” ³⁶ When the voice had ceased, Jesus was found alone. ^(J)But they kept quiet, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.

¹⁴ that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing, ¹⁵ which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only ^[a]Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, ¹⁶ who alone has immortality, dwelling in ^(A)unapproachable light, ^(B)whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen.

Jesus Transfigured on the Mount

^2 (A)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 ^(B)white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.

² and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.

Peter’s Approaching Death

¹² For this reason ^(A)I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, ^(B)though you know and are established in the present truth. ¹³ Yes, I think it is right, ^(C)as long as I am in this ^[a]tent, ^(D)to stir you up by reminding you, ^14 (E)knowing that shortly I must ^[b]put off my tent, just as ^(F)our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. ¹⁵ Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my ^[c]decease.

The Trustworthy Prophetic Word^(G)

¹⁶ For we did not follow ^(H)cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the ^(I)power and ^(J)coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were ^(K)eyewitnesses of His majesty. ¹⁷ For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: ^(L)“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” ¹⁸ And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on ^(M)the holy mountain.

From Suffering to Glory

¹⁸ For I consider that ^(A)the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
