While they were praying, Jesus was transfigured. That means He was changed! His face changed and shined like the sun. His clothes turned a beautiful white, as white as light. Suddenly, Elijah and Moses, prophets who had died long ago, appeared and talked with Jesus. They talked about what Jesus was going to do in Jerusalem before He returned to heaven. Peter was surprised and afraid. He said to Jesus, "Lord, it's good we are all here! If you want me to, I'll make three tents—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." While Peter was talking, a bright cloud covered all of them. They heard a voice come from the cloud. The voice said, "This is My Son. I love Him, and I'm pleased with Him. He is the One I have chosen. Listen to Him!" The disciples were very afraid and fell down to the ground! Jesus touched them. He said, "Don't be afraid. Get up." When they looked around, they saw only Jesus. Elijah and Moses and the cloud had gone away. Later, as they were going down the mountain, Jesus told the disciples, "Don't tell anyone what you saw here, until the Son of Man rises from the dead." The disciples were confused and asked questions, but they didn't tell anyone what they had seen. Peter, James, and John had seen Jesus' glory! They had seen with their own eyes that Jesus is not only human but that He is also the Son of God! We know that Jesus is both true man and also true God. One day, we will also see Jesus in all His beautiful, shining glory forever and ever. Gr1-SB-composite.indb 105 Gr1-SB-composite.indb 105 8/25/21 11:34 AM 8/25/21 11:34 AM GRADE 1 STUDENT BOOK
