Luke 9:26-37 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

26. For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words: of him the Son of man will be ashamed, when he will have arrived in his majesty and that of his Father and of the holy Angels.

27. And yet, I tell you a truth: There are some standing here who shall not taste death, until they see the kingdom of God."

28. And it happened that, about eight days after these words, he took Peter and James and John, and he ascended onto a mountain, so that he might pray.

29. And while he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his vestment became white and shining.

30. And behold, two men were talking with him. And these were Moses and Elijah, appearing in majesty.

31. And they spoke of his departure, which he would accomplish at Jerusalem.

32. Yet truly, Peter and those who were with him were weighed down by sleep. And becoming alert, they saw his majesty and the two men who were standing with him.

33. And it happened that, as these were departing from him, Peter said to Jesus: "Teacher, it is good for us to be here. And so, let us make three tabernacles: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah." For he did not know what he was saying.

34. Then, as he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them. And as these were entering into the cloud, they were afraid.

35. And a voice came from the cloud, saying: "This is my beloved son. Listen to him."

36. And while the voice was being uttered, Jesus was found to be alone. And they were silent and told no one, in those days, any of these things, which they had seen.

37. But it happened on the following day that, as they were descending from the mountain, a great crowd met him.
