The Transfiguration:

8 days after Peter's declaration, he took Peter, John and James to a mountain to pray

As Jesus was praying, his facial appearance changed and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning

Two men appeared (Moses and Elijah) and spoke to Jesus

They spoke too him a bout his departure, this would bring fulfilment to Jerusalem

The three disciples that were with Jesus were very sleepy and when they were fully awake they saw Jesus' glory and the two men standing there

As the men were leaving, Peter said to Jesus:

'Master it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters-one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.' (he didn't know what he was saying)

While he was saying this a cloud appeared and enveloped them

They were afraid as they entered the cloud

A voice came from the cloud, saying:

'This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.'

When the voice had spoken they found Jesus alone

The disciples kept this to themselves and told no one at the time what they had seen
