The Transfiguration
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
Mat 17:1–8
- 1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his brother, and doth bring them up to a high mount by themselves,
- 2 and he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his garments did become white as the light,
- 3 and lo, appear to them did Moses and Elijah, talking together with him.
- 4 And Peter answering said to Jesus, 'Sir, it is good to us to be here; if thou wilt, we may make here three booths — for thee one, and for Moses one, and one for Elijah.'
- 5 While he is yet speaking, lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, 'This is My Son, — the Beloved, in whom I did delight; hear him.'
- 6 And the disciples having heard, did fall upon their face, and were exceedingly afraid,
- 7 and Jesus having come near, touched them, and said, 'Rise, be not afraid,'
- 8 and having lifted up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus only.
Mrk 9:2–8
- 2 And after six days doth Jesus take Peter, and James, and John, and bringeth them up to a high mount by themselves, alone, and he was transfigured before them,
- 3 and his garments became glittering, white exceedingly, as snow, so as a fuller upon the earth is not able to whiten them.
- 4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
- 5 And Peter answering saith to Jesus, 'Rabbi, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three booths, for thee one, and for Moses one, and for Elijah one:'
- 6 for he was not knowing what he might say, for they were greatly afraid.
- 7 And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, 'This is My Son — the Beloved, hear ye him;'
- 8 and suddenly, having looked around, they saw no one any more, but Jesus only with themselves.
Luk 9:28–36
- 28 And it came to pass, after these words, as it were eight days, that having taken Peter, and John, and James, he went up to the mountain to pray,
- 29 and it came to pass, in his praying, the appearance of his face became altered, and his garment white — sparkling.
- 30 And lo, two men were speaking together with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
- 31 who having appeared in glory, spake of his outgoing that he was about to fulfil in Jerusalem,
- 32 but Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep, and having waked, they saw his glory, and the two men standing with him.
- 33 And it came to pass, in their parting from him, Peter said unto Jesus, 'Master, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three booths, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,' not knowing what he saith:
- 34 and as he was speaking these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them, and they feared in their entering into the cloud,
- 35 and a voice came out of the cloud saying, 'This is My Son — the Beloved; hear ye him;'
- 36 and when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone; and they were silent, and declared to no one in those days anything of what they have seen.
