... He took Peter, John, and James and went up the
mountain to pray. While he was praying his face changed in appearance
and his clothing became dazzling white. And behold, two men were
conversing with him, Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke
of his exodus that he was going to accomplish in Jerusalem.
Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep,
but becoming fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing
with him. As they were about to part from
him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good that we are here;
let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for
Elijah." But he did not know what he was saying.
While he was still speaking, a cloud came and cast
a shadow over them, and they became frightened when they entered the
cloud. Then from the cloud came a
voice that said, "This is my chosen Son; listen to him."
After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They fell silent
and did not at that time tell anyone what they had seen.
(Luke 9:28-36)
