Jesus prayed, but the disciples were sleepy. Suddenly, Jesus was changed! His face and clothes became dazzling white. Two men also appeared next to Jesus. One was Moses, the great prophet at the time of the exodus, and the other was Elijah, the great prophet during the time of the kings of Israel. Together, the three figures talked about what Jesus would do in Jerusalem, that He would have to suffer and die for the sins of the world. When the disciples saw this happen, they were startled from their sleepiness and were amazed. When they noticed that Moses and Elijah were about to leave, Peter spoke up, saying that it was good that they were all there. He said that they should build some shelters so they could stay there. Suddenly, a cloud came over that place, and the disciples became afraid. They heard God the Father speak to them from the cloud: "This is My Son, My Chosen One; listen to Him!" After the voice spoke, Jesus was once more alone and looked like He had before. The three disciples who had experienced this did not understand what had happened, and they did not tell anyone about it until after Jesus rose from the dead.
