FIRST READING

Exodus 34:29-35

Verse 29. And when Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was unaware that his face had become radiant from speaking with the LORD. Verse 30. Aaron and all the Israelites looked at Moses, and behold, his face was radiant. And they were afraid to approach him. Verse 31. But Moses called out to them; so Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke to them. Verse 32. And after this all the Israelites came near, and Moses commanded them to do everything that the LORD had told him on Mount Sinai. Verse 33. When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face. Verse 34. But whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with Him, he would remove the veil until he came out. And when he came out, he would tell the Israelites what he had been commanded, Verse 35. and the Israelites would see that the face of Moses was radiant. So Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the LORD.

GOSPEL

Luke 9:28-36, (37-43a)

Verse 28. About eight days after Jesus had said these things, He took with Him Peter, John, and James, and went up on a mountain to pray. Verse 29. And as He was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and His clothes became radiantly white. Verse 30. Suddenly two men, Moses and Elijah, began talking with Jesus. Verse 31. They appeared in glory and spoke about His departure, which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. Verse 32. Meanwhile Peter and his companions were overcome by sleep, but when they awoke, they saw Jesus’ glory and the two men standing with Him. Verse 33. As Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters — one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” ( vvv He did not know what he was saying.) Verse 34. While Peter was speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. Verse 35. And a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to Him!” Verse 36. After the voice had spoken, only Jesus was present with them. The disciples kept this to themselves, and in those days they did not tell anyone what they had seen.
