2 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain apart, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, 3 and his clothes became dazzling bright, such as no one on earth could brighten them. 4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, who were talking with Jesus. 5 Then Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us set up three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 6 He did not know what to say, for they were terrified. 7 Then a cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud there came a voice, “This is my Son, the Beloved; listen to him!” 8 Suddenly when they looked around, they saw no one with them any more, but only Jesus.
Prayer Focus: Despite the fact that in the last chapter Jesus told Peter, “Get behind me Satan!”, Peter is included in this small group that goes with Jesus up a high mountain for the transfiguration. As Jesus’ ministry in Galilee begins at his baptism with a voice from the heavens, Jesus’ turn toward Jerusalem is marked with a voice from heaven reaffirming Jesus’ identity. The ones who do not know what to say are the disciples. Pray that you might be silent today as you see the glory of God. No need to do or build anything. Just be present with Jesus.
