NARRATOR 1: Six days later Jesus took Peter, James, and John up a high mountain with him.
NARRATOR 2: He was transfigured before their eyes. His clothes became dazzling white—whiter than snow, whiter than any bleach on earth could make them.
NARRATOR 1: Then they saw Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus.
PETER: Teacher, how good it is for us to be here. Let us build three booths, one for you, one for Elijah, and one for Moses.
NARRATOR 2: Peter hardly knew what to say; they were all three very afraid.
NARRATOR 1: A cloud overshadowed them, and out of the cloud a voice spoke.
VOICE: This is my son, my beloved. Listen to him.
NARRATOR 2: Suddenly looking around they no longer saw anyone with them — only Jesus.
NARRATOR 1: As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus gave them an order.
JESUS: Tell no one what you have seen until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.
NARRATOR 2: They did what he asked, though they discussed among themselves.
PETER: What does rise from the dead mean?
JAMES: I don’t know.
JOHN: Me either.
