28. About eight days later Jesus took Peter, John, and James with him and went up on a mountain to pray.
29. While he was praying, his face changed, and his clothes became shining white.
30. Suddenly Moses and Elijah were there speaking with him.
31. They appeared in heavenly glory and talked about all that Jesus' death in Jerusalem would mean.
32. Peter and the other two disciples had been sound asleep. All at once they woke up and saw how glorious Jesus was. They also saw the two men who were with him.
33. Moses and Elijah were about to leave, when Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here! Let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” But Peter did not know what he was talking about.
34. While Peter was still speaking, a shadow from a cloud passed over them, and they were frightened as the cloud covered them.
