2 Six days after that, Jesus asked Peter, James and John to go with him. Jesus led them up a high mountain, where they were alone together. Peter, James and John saw Jesus change in front of them. 3 His clothes became very white. They were shining. Nobody on earth could wash them and make them as white as that. 4 Then Elijah and Moses appeared in front of the three disciples. Elijah and Moses were talking with Jesus.
9:4Moses was a leader of God's people. He died about 1,400 years before Jesus was born. Elijah was one of God's prophets. He lived about 850 years before Jesus was born.
5 So Peter said to Jesus, ‘Teacher, it is good that we are here. Please let us build three huts. One hut will be for you. One hut will be for Moses. And one hut will be for Elijah.’ 6 Peter did not really know what to say. That was because the three disciples were very afraid.
7 Then a cloud appeared and it covered them all. A voice spoke from the cloud and it said, ‘This is my Son, and I love him. Listen to him.’
8 At that moment, the three disciples looked around. They saw that nobody else was there now. Only Jesus was there with them.
