27. Believe me when I say that some of you people standing here will see God’s kingdom before you die.”
28. About eight days after Jesus said these things, he took Peter, John, and James and went up on a mountain to pray.
29. While Jesus was praying, his face began to change. His clothes became shining white.
30. Then two men were there, talking with him. They were Moses and Elijah.
31. They also looked bright and glorious. They were talking with Jesus about his death that would happen in Jerusalem.
32. Peter and the others were asleep. But they woke up and saw the glory of Jesus. They also saw the two men who were standing with him.
33. When Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter said, “Master, it is good that we are here. We will put three tents here—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)
34. While Peter was saying these things, a cloud came all around them. Peter, John, and James were afraid when the cloud covered them.
