Luke 9:28-36 (Matins Gospel)
28 |
Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray. |
29 |
As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening. |
30 |
And behold, two men talked with Him, who were Moses and Elijah, |
31 |
who appeared in glory and spoke of His decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. |
32 |
But Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who stood with Him. |
33 |
Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"-not knowing what he said. |
34 |
While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were fearful as they entered the cloud. |
35 |
And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!" |
36 |
When the voice had ceased, Jesus was found alone. But they kept quiet, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen. |
