Matthew 17:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 17:1

Jesus Transfigured on the Mount

1 Now ^aafter six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves;

2 and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.

3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.

4 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish,¹ let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

5 ^aWhile he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, ^b“This is My beloved Son, ^cin whom I am well pleased. ^dHear Him!”

6 ^aAnd when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid.

7 But Jesus came and ^atouched them and said, “Arise, and do not be afraid.”

8 When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.

9 Now as they came down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man is risen from the dead.”
