Matthew 17: 1 - 9 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. 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. 
 
And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. 
 
And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. 
 
And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. 
 
And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
 
Mark 9:1 - 9 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. 
 
And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them. 
 
And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. 
 
And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus. 
 
And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 
 
For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid. 
 
And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. 
 
And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves. 
 
And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.
 
Luke 9:28 - 35 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray. 
 
And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering. 
 
And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: 
 
Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. 
 
But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him. 
 
And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said. 
 
While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud. 
 
And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
