Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 9, 2-10 

At that time

    Jesus took Peter, James, and John with him,

and led them alone up a high mountain.

And he was transfigured before them.

    His clothes became resplendent,

so white

that no one on earth can achieve such a whiteness.

    Elijah appeared to them with Moses,

and they were talking to Jesus.

    Peter then spoke up

and said to Jesus:

“Rabbi, it is good that we are here!

So let’s pitch three tents:

one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah. "

    In fact, Peter did not know what to say,

so their fear was great.

There arose a cloud which covered them with its shadow,

and from the cloud a voice was heard:

"This is my beloved Son:

listen to him!" "

    Suddenly, looking around,

they no longer saw Jesus only with them. 

    They came down from the mountain,

and Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone what they had seen,

until the Son of man

had risen from the dead.

    And they remained firmly attached to this word,

while wondering among themselves what it meant:

"to rise from the dead". 

    - Let us acclaim the Word of God.
