'This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him.' 

Mark 9:2-10

 

² Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain on their own by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured:

³ his clothes became brilliantly white, whiter than any earthly bleacher could make them.

⁴ Elijah appeared to them with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus.

⁵ Then Peter spoke to Jesus, 'Rabbi,' he said, 'it is wonderful for us to be here; so let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.'

⁶ He did not know what to say; they were so frightened.

⁷ And a cloud came, covering them in shadow; and from the cloud there came a voice, 'This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him.'

⁸ Then suddenly, when they looked round, they saw no one with them any more but only Jesus.

⁹ As they were coming down from the mountain he warned them to tell no one what they had seen, until after the Son of man had risen from the dead.

¹⁰ They observed the warning faithfully, though among themselves they discussed what 'rising from the dead' could mean.
