Luke 9:28-36
Now about eight days after these sayings, Jesus took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up the mountain to pray.As he was praying, the appearance of his face was transformed, and his clothes became very bright, a brilliant white.Then two men, Moses and Elijah, began talking with him.They appeared in glorious splendor and spoke about his departure that he was about to carry out at Jerusalem.Now Peter and those with him were quite sleepy, but as they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.Then as the men were starting to leave, Peter said to Jesus,“ Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah”– not knowing what he was saying.As he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.Then a voice came from the cloud, saying,“ This is my Son, my Chosen One. Listen to him!”After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. So they kept silent and told no one at that time anything of what they had seen.

Six days later Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John the brother of James, and led them privately up a high mountain.And he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light.Then Moses and Elijah also appeared before them, talking with him.So Peter said to Jesus,“ Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, I will make three shelters– one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said,“ This is my one dear Son, in whom I take great delight. Listen to him!”When the disciples heard this, they were overwhelmed with fear and threw themselves down with their faces to the ground.But Jesus came and touched them.“ Get up,” he said.“ Do not be afraid.”When they looked up, all they saw was Jesus alone.

Exodus 34:29-35
Now when Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand– when he came down from the mountain, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to approach him.But Moses called to them, so Aaron and all the leaders of the community came back to him, and Moses spoke to them.After this all the Israelites approached, and he commanded them all that the LORD had spoken to him on Mount Sinai.When Moses finished speaking with them, he would put a veil on his face.But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he would remove the veil until he came out. Then he would come out and tell the Israelites what he had been commanded.When the Israelites would see the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone, Moses would put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with the LORD.

and in the midst of the lampstands was one like a son of man. He was dressed in a robe extending down to his feet and he wore a wide golden belt around his chest.His head and hair were as white as wool, even as white as snow, and his eyes were like a fiery flame.His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters.He held seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp double- edged sword extended out of his mouth. His face shone like the sun shining at full strength.When I saw him I fell down at his feet as though I were dead, but he placed his right hand on me and said:“ Do not be afraid! I am the first and the last,

2 Corinthians 3 7-2 Corinthians 3 10
But if the ministry that produced death– carved in letters on stone tablets– came with glory, so that the Israelites could not keep their eyes fixed on the face of Moses because of the glory of his face( a glory which was made ineffective),how much more glorious will the ministry of the Spirit be?For if there was glory in the ministry that produced condemnation, how much more does the ministry that produces righteousness excel in glory!For indeed, what had been glorious now has no glory because of the tremendously greater glory of what replaced it.

For we did not follow cleverly concocted fables when we made known to you the power and return of our Lord Jesus Christ; no, we were eyewitnesses of his grandeur.For he received honor and glory from God the Father, when that voice was conveyed to him by the Majestic Glory:“ This is my dear Son, in whom I am delighted.”When this voice was conveyed from heaven, we ourselves heard it, for we were with him on the holy mountain.
