FEAST OF
THE TRANSFIGURATION
Gospel for
Sunday, August 6th
Mark 9:2-10
Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John, and led them up a high
mountain apart by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his
clothes became dazzling white, such as no fuller on earth could bleach
them. Then Elijah appeared to them along with Moses, and they were
conversing with Jesus. Then Peter said to Jesus in reply, “Rabbi, it
is good that we are here! Let us make three tents: one for you, one for
Moses, and one for Elijah.” He hardly knew what to say, they were so
terrified. Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them; from the cloud
came a voice, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.” Suddenly, looking
around, they no longer saw anyone
but Jesus alone with them.
As they were coming down from the mountain, he charged them not to relate
what they had seen to anyone, except when the Son of Man had risen from
the dead. So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what
rising from the dead meant.
