They were all alone. Suddenly, Jesus' clothes became dazzling white, whiter than any bleach or washing machine could make them! Then Jesus' face started shining like the sun. While the disciples watched, two other men appeared next to Jesus and were talking to Him. It was Moses and Elijah! They were prophets from the Old Testament who had died many years before Jesus was born. The disciples were shocked and amazed! Peter told Jesus that they should start building tents for Him and Moses and Elijah so they could stay on the mountaintop. As Peter was talking, a huge cloud wrapped around the entire mountain, and the thundering voice of God the Father boomed, "This is My Son, whom I love. Listen to Him." The disciples fell to the ground, terrified. When Jesus saw the disciples, He said, "Don't be afraid. Get up." The disciples looked up and noticed that Moses and Elijah were gone, and Jesus' face and clothes were no longer shining. Jesus started climbing down the mountain with His disciples. While they walked, Jesus talked to Peter, James, and John about what they had seen. He said, "Don't tell anyone what you saw. Wait until I have risen from the dead."
