Matthew 17:1-8

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

17 And six days after this, Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves.

² And His appearance underwent a change in their presence; and His face shone ^[a]clear and bright like the sun, and His clothing became as white as light.

³ And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, who kept talking with Him.

⁴ Then Peter began to speak and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good and delightful that we are here; if You approve, I will put up three booths here—one for You and one for Moses and one for Elijah.

⁵ While he was still speaking, behold, a shining cloud [^[b]composed of light] overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, This is My Son, My Beloved, with Whom I am [and ^[c]have always been] delighted. Listen to Him!^(A)

⁶ When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were ^[d]seized with alarm and struck with fear.

⁷ But Jesus came and touched them and said, Get up, and do not be afraid.

⁸ And when they raised their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.
