Six days later Jesus went up a high mountain. He brought Peter, James, and John the brother of James with him.
He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to feel sad and troubled.
Jesus only let Peter, James, and John, the brother of James, come with him.
When we were with him on the sacred mountain, we heard this voice ourselves as it came from heaven.
This will be my third visit to you. Scripture says, “Every matter must be proved by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”
When Jesus arrived at the house, he didn’t let everyone go in with him. He took only Peter, John, and James, along with the child’s father and mother.
As they were watching, his appearance changed. His face shone like the sun and his clothes became bright as light.
As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, across from the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,
When we told you about the time our Lord Jesus Christ came with power, we weren’t trying to fool you by making up stories. We saw him in all his majesty with our own eyes.
