Matthew 17:1-9

 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and  his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became bright as light. Suddenly there appeared to them Moses  and Elijah, talking with him. Then Peter said to Jesus,  “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I will set up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for  Elijah.” While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright   cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell to the ground and were overcome by fear. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Get up and do  not be afraid.” And when they raised their eyes, they saw  no one except Jesus himself alone.

As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus ordered  them, “Tell no one about the vision until after the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”
