Matthew 17:1-9

Worldwide English (New Testament)

17 Six days after this, Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John with him. He led them up a hill by themselves.

² Jesus was changed in front of them. His face was bright like the sun. His clothes were white, like light.

³ Then they saw Moses and Elijah talking with Jesus.

⁴ Peter said to Jesus, `Lord, this is a good place for us. If you want, we will make three places here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.'

⁵ While he was saying this, a bright cloud came over them. A voice in the cloud said, `This is my dear Son. I am very pleased with him. Listen to him.'

⁶ When the disciples heard it, they bowed their faces to the ground. They were very much afraid.

⁷ But Jesus came and touched them. He said, `Get up. Do not fear.'

⁸ When they looked up, they saw no one but Jesus.

⁹ When they came down the hill, Jesus said to them, `Do not tell anyone what you saw. Do not tell it until after the Son of Man has been raised from death.'
