Transfiguration

9I watched until thrones were set up, and the Ancient of days sat down. His garment was radiant like snow, and the hair of his head like clean wool; his throne was flames of fire, its wheels had been set on fire. 10A river of fire rushed forth from his presence. Thousands upon thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times hundreds of thousands attended before him. The trial began, and the books were opened.

…

13I watched, therefore, in the vision of the night, and behold, with the clouds of heaven, one like a son of man arrived, and he approached all the way to the Ancient of days, and they presented him before him. 14And he gave him power, and honor, and the kingdom, and all peoples, tribes, and languages will serve him. His power is an eternal power, which will not be taken away, and his kingdom, one which will not be corrupted.

1This is to David, when his land was restored to him. The Lord has reigned, let the earth exult. Let the many islands rejoice.

2Clouds and mist are all around him. Justice and judgment are corrections from his throne.

…

5The mountains flowed like wax before the face of the Lord, before the face of the Lord of all the earth.

6The heavens announced his justice, and all peoples saw his glory.

…

9For you are the Most High Lord over all the earth. You are greatly exalted above all gods.

16For it was not by following fanciful doctrines that we made known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were made eyewitnesses of his greatness. 17For he received honor and glory from God the Father, whose voice descended to him from the magnificent glory: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.” 18We also heard this voice conveyed from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain. 19And so, we have an even firmer prophetic word, to which you would do well to listen, as to a light shining within a dark place, until the day dawns, and the daystar rises, in your hearts.

2And his vestments became radiant and exceedingly white like snow, with such a brilliance as no fuller on earth is able to achieve. 3And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were speaking with Jesus. 4And in response, Peter said to Jesus: “Master, it is good for us to be here. And so let us make three tabernacles, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 5For he did not know what he was saying. For they were overwhelmed by fear. 6And there was a cloud overshadowing them. And a voice came from the cloud, saying: “This is my most beloved Son. Listen to him.” 7And immediately, looking around, they no longer saw anyone, except Jesus alone with them. 8And as they were descending from the mountain, he instructed them not to relate to anyone what they had seen, until after the Son of man will have risen again from the dead. 9And they kept the word to themselves, arguing about what “after he will have risen from the dead” might mean. 10And they questioned him, saying: “Then why do the Pharisees and the scribes say that Elijah must arrive first?”
