Luke 9:28-36
Christian Standard Bible
The Transfiguration
28 About eight days after this conversation,(A) he took along Peter, John, and James(B) and went up on the mountain to pray.(C) 29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed,(D) and his clothes became dazzling white.(E) 30 Suddenly, two men were talking with him—Moses and Elijah. 31 They appeared in glory and were speaking of his departure, which he was about to accomplish in Jerusalem.
32 Peter and those with him were in a deep sleep,[a](F) and when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who were standing with him. 33 As the two men were departing from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master,(G) it’s good for us to be here. Let’s set up three shelters: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he was saying.(H)
34 While he was saying this, a cloud appeared and overshadowed(I) them. They became afraid as they entered the cloud. 35 Then a voice came from the cloud,(J) saying, “This is my Son,(K) the Chosen One;[b](L) listen to him!” (M)
36 After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They kept silent, and at that time told no one what they had seen.

Luke 9:28-36
International Standard Version
Jesus’ Appearance is Changed(A)
28 Now about eight days after Jesus said this,[a] he took Peter, John, and James with him and went up on a mountain to pray. 29 While he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes turned dazzling white. 30 Suddenly, two men were talking with him. They were Moses and Elijah. 31 They had a glorified appearance, and were discussing Jesus’[b] departure that he would shortly bring about in Jerusalem.
32 Now Peter and the men with him had been overcome by sleep. When they woke up, they saw Jesus’[c] glory and the two men standing with him. 33 Just as Moses and Elijah[d] were leaving,[e] Peter told Jesus, “Master, it’s good that we’re here! Let’s set up three shelters[f]—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (Peter[g] didn’t know what he was saying.) 34 But while he was saying this, a cloud appeared and surrounded them, and they became terrified as they were being overshadowed by the cloud.
35 Then a voice came out of the cloud and said, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen.[h] Keep listening to him!” 36 After the voice had spoken, Jesus was[i] alone. The disciples[j] kept silent and at that time[k] told no one about what they had seen.
