New Living Translation (NLT)

Matthew 16
²⁷ For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father and will judge all people according to their deeds.
²⁸ And I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom.”
Matthew 17
¹ Six days later Jesus took Peter and the two brothers, James and John, and led them up a high mountain to be alone.
² As the men watched, Jesus’ appearance was transformed so that his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as light.
³ Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared and began talking with Jesus.
⁴ Peter exclaimed, “Lord, it’s wonderful for us to be here! If you want, I’ll make three shelters as memorials—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
⁵ But even as he spoke, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy. Listen to him.”
⁶ The disciples were terrified and fell face down on the ground.
⁷ Then Jesus came over and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.”
⁸ And when they looked up, Moses and Elijah were gone, and they saw only Jesus.
⁹ As they went back down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”
