A READING FROM THE GOSPEL OF JESUS ACCORDING TO MARK (FIRST READER ONLY)

JESUS TOOK PETER, JAMES AND JOHN, AND LED THEM UP A HIGH MOUNTAIN./

HE WAS TRANSFIGURED BEFORE THEM./

HIS GARMENTS BECAME GLISTENING, INTENSLY WHITE, AS NO ONE ON EARTH COULD MAKE THEM./

THEN, ELIJAH AND MOSES APPEARED. THEY WERE TALKING TO JESUS. /

PETER SAID TO JESUS,”MASTER, IT IS WELL THAT WE ARE HERE/

LET US MAKE THREE BOOTHS, ONE FOR YOU, ONE FOR MOSES, AND ONE FOR ELIJAH./

HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO SAY; THEY WERE EXCEEDINGLY AFRAID./

THEN, A CLOUD OVERSHADOWED THEM AND A VOICE CAME OUT OF THE CLOUD,/

“THIS IS MY BELOVED. LISTEN TO HIM.’/

SUDDENLY, THEY NO LONGER SAW ANYONE WITH THEM - ONLY JESUS./
