Matthew 17:1-6 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. And after six days, Jesus took Peter and James and his brother John, and he led them onto a lofty mountain separately.

2. And he was transfigured before them. And his face shined brightly like the sun. And his garments were made white like snow.

3. And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, speaking with him.

4. And Peter responded by saying to Jesus: "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you are willing, let us make three tabernacles here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

5. And while he was still speaking, behold, a shining cloud overshadowed them. And behold, there was a voice from the cloud, saying: "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him."

6. And the disciples, hearing this, fell prone on their face, and they were very afraid.
