The transfiguration

On the mountain Jesus was transfigured, his face shining like the sun, with Moses and Elijah beside him, and the voice from the cloud said, This is my beloved Son; listen to him (Matthew 17:2-5). Late in the ministry; no year stated.

📖 Matthew 17:1–3

1After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2There He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. 3Suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared before them, talking with Jesus.
