Matthew 17:1-5

New International Version

The Transfiguration^(A)^(B)

17 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John^(C) the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. ²There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. ³Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.

⁴Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”

⁵While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.^(D) Listen to him!”^(E)

Philippians 2:5-11

New International Version

⁵In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:^(A)

⁶Who, being in very nature^[a] God,^(B)
    did not consider equality with God^(C) something to be used to his own advantage;
⁷rather, he made himself nothing^(D)
    by taking the very nature^[b] of a servant,^(E)
    being made in human likeness.^(F)
⁸And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death^(G)—
        even death on a cross!^(H)

⁹Therefore God exalted him^(I) to the highest place
    and gave him the name that is above every name,^(J)
¹⁰that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,^(K)
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,^(L)
¹¹and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,^(M)
    to the glory of God the Father.
