Gospel, Luke 9:28-36

²⁸ Now about eight days after this had been said, he took with him Peter, John and James and went up the mountain to pray.

²⁹ And it happened that, as he was praying, the aspect of his face was changed and his clothing became sparkling white.

³⁰ And suddenly there were two men talking to him; they were Moses and Elijah

³¹ appearing in glory, and they were speaking of his passing which he was to accomplish in Jerusalem.

³² Peter and his companions were heavy with sleep, but they woke up and saw his glory and the two men standing with him.

³³ As these were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, 'Master, it is wonderful for us to be here; so let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.' He did not know what he was saying.

³⁴ As he was saying this, a cloud came and covered them with shadow; and when they went into the cloud the disciples were afraid.

³⁵ And a voice came from the cloud saying, 'This is my Son, the Chosen One. Listen to him.'

³⁶ And after the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. The disciples kept silence and, at that time, told no one what they had seen.

Reading 2, Second Peter 1:16-19

¹⁶ When we told you about the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not slavishly repeating cleverly invented myths; no, we had seen his majesty with our own eyes.

¹⁷ He was honoured and glorified by God the Father, when a voice came to him from the transcendent Glory, This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour.

¹⁸ We ourselves heard this voice from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.

¹⁹ So we have confirmation of the words of the prophets; and you will be right to pay attention to it as to a lamp for lighting a way through the dark, until the dawn comes and the morning star rises in your minds.
