9:29. And whilst he prayed, the shape of his countenance was altered and
his raiment became white and glittering.
9:30. And behold two men were talking with him. And they were Moses and
Elias,
9:31. Appearing in majesty. And they spoke of his decease that he should
accomplish in Jerusalem.
9:32. But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep. And
