Matthew 17:1-8

Lamsa(i) 1 AND after six days Jesus took Peter and James and his brother John, and brought them up to a high mountain alone. 2 And Jesus was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes turned white like light. 3 And there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, as they were talking with him. 4 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, My Lord, it is better for us to remain here; and if you wish, we will make three shelters here, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. 5 And while he was speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud saying, This is my beloved Son, I am pleased with him; hear him. 6 When the disciples heard it, they threw themselves on their faces, and they were greatly frightened. 7 And Jesus came near them and touched them, and said, Arise, do not be afraid. 8 And they raised up their eyes, and they saw no man, except Jesus alone.
