The Transfiguration

After(A) six days(B) Jesus took Peter, James, and John(C) and led them up on a high mountain(D) by themselves to be alone. He was transformed[a](E) in front of them, and His clothes(F) became dazzling—extremely white(G) as no launderer on earth could whiten(H) them. Elijah(I) appeared to them with Moses,(J) and they were talking with Jesus.

Then Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi,(K) it’s good(L) for us to be here! Let us make three tabernacles:(M) one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”— because he did not know what he should say,(N) since they were terrified.(O)

A cloud(P) appeared, overshadowing(Q) them, and a voice(R) came from the cloud:(S)

This is My beloved(T) Son;(U)
listen to Him!(V)

Then suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus alone.

As(W) they were coming down from the mountain,(X) He ordered them to tell no one what they had seen(Y) until the Son of Man(Z) had risen(AA) from the dead.(AB) 10 They kept this word(AC) to themselves, discussing what “rising from the dead” meant.
