Mark

Mark 9:2–6

²After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There He was transfigured before them. ³His clothes became radiantly white, brighter than any launderer on earth could bleach them. ⁴And Elijah and Moses appeared before them, talking with Jesus.

⁵Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters^a— one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” ⁶For they were all so terrified that Peter did not know what else to say.
