The Transfiguration

17 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain, by themselves.(A) And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became bright as light. Suddenly there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. Then Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I[a] will set up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, the Beloved;[b] with him I am well pleased; listen to him!”(B) When the disciples heard this, they fell to the ground and were overcome by fear. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Get up and do not be afraid.”(C) And when they raised their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus himself alone.

As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus ordered them, “Tell no one about the vision until after the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”(D)

La transfiguración(A)

17 Seis días después Jesús se llevó aparte a Pedro, a Jacobo y a su hermano Juan. Los llevó a un monte alto, y allí se transfiguró delante de ellos.(B) Su rostro resplandecía como el sol, y sus vestidos se hicieron blancos como la luz. De pronto se les aparecieron Moisés y Elías, y hablaban con él. Pedro dijo entonces a Jesús: «Señor, ¡qué bueno es para nosotros estar aquí! Si quieres, podemos hacer tres cobertizos: uno para ti, otro para Moisés, y otro para Elías.» Todavía estaba hablando cuando una nube de luz los cubrió, y desde la nube se oyó una voz que decía: «Éste es mi Hijo amado, en quien me complazco.(C) ¡Escúchenlo!» Al oír esto los discípulos, se postraron sobre sus rostros, llenos de miedo; pero Jesús se acercó a ellos, los tocó y les dijo: «Levántense; no tengan miedo.» Y cuando ellos alzaron la vista, no vieron a nadie más que a Jesús.

Cuando descendieron del monte, Jesús les mandó: «No digan nada a nadie de esta visión, hasta que el Hijo del Hombre resucite de los muertos.»

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. There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.

Peter 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.”

While 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)

When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.”(F) When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.

As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don’t tell anyone(G) what you have seen, until the Son of Man(H) has been raised from the dead.”(I)
