← Matthew 17:3	Matthew 17:4 (KJV)	Matthew 17:5 →
And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.	Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.	While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
