After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.
There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light.
He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled.
As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John and Andrew asked him privately,
He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James.
When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James, and the child’s father and mother.
This will be my third visit to you. “Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”
For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.
