New International Reader's Version

Matthew 17:1-5 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John the brother of James with him. He led them up a high mountain. They were all alone.

2. There in front of them his appearance was changed. His face shone like the sun. His clothes became as white as the light.

3. Just then Moses and Elijah appeared in front of them. Moses and Elijah were talking with Jesus.

4. Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters. One will be for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

5. While Peter was still speaking, a bright cloud surrounded them. A voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, and I love him. I am very pleased with him. Listen to him!"
