23
Greekκαὶ μετεμορφώθη ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔλαμψεν τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ὡς ὁ ἥλιος, τὰ δὲ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο λευκὰ ὡς τὸ φῶς.
Orthodox ReadingAnd he was transfiguredⓘ before them, and his face shone like the sun — as the face of Moses shone after the encounter with the Lordⓘ — and his garments became white as the light, like the raiment of the Ancient of Days white as snow.
31
Greekκαὶ ἰδοὺ ὤφθη αὐτοῖς Μωϋσῆς καὶ Ἠλίας συλλαλοῦντες μετ' αὐτοῦ.

45
Greekἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν τῷ Ἰησοῦ· Κύριε, καλόν ἐστιν ἡμᾶς ὧδε εἶναι· εἰ θέλεις, ποιήσω ὧδε τρεῖς σκηνάς, σοὶ μίαν καὶ Μωϋσεῖ μίαν καὶ Ἠλίᾳ μίαν.

53
Greekἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος ἰδοὺ νεφέλη φωτεινὴ ἐπεσκίασεν αὐτούς, καὶ ἰδοὺ φωνὴ ἐκ τῆς νεφέλης λέγουσα· Οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός, ἐν ᾧ εὐδόκησα· ἀκούετε αὐτοῦ.
Orthodox ReadingWhile he was still speaking, behold, a luminous cloudⓘ overshadowed themⓘ, and behold, a voice from the cloudⓘ that said: «This is my Son, the belovedⓘ, in him I am well pleased; listen to him», as the Lord commanded Israel in the wilderness: «A prophet like Moses I will raise up for you: to him you shall listen».
64
Greekκαὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ μαθηταὶ ἔπεσαν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν σφόδρα.

GreekΚαὶ καταβαινόντων αὐτῶν ἐκ τοῦ ὄρους ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγων· Μηδενὶ εἴπητε τὸ ὅραμα ἕως οὗ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐκ νεκρῶν ἐγερθῇ.
Orthodox ReadingAnd as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying: «Tell no one the visionⓘ until the Son of Manⓘ rises from the deadⓘ.»
