Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum (17,1-9)
In illo tempore: Assúmit Iésus Petrum et Iacóbum et Ioánnem fratrem eíus et ducit illos in montem excélsum seórsum. Et transfigurátus est ante eos; et resplénduit fácies eíus sicut sol, vestiménta autem eíus facta sunt alba sicut lux. Et ecce appáruit illis Móyses et Elías cum eo loquéntes. Respóndens autem Petrus dixit ad Iésum: “Dómine, bonum est nos hic esse. Si vis, fáciam hic tria tabernácula: tibi unum et Móysi unum et Elíæ unum.” Adhuc eo loquénte, ecce nubes lúcida obumbrávit eos; et ecce vox de nube dicens: “Hic est Fílius meus diléctus, in quo mihi bene complácui; ipsum audíte.” Et audiéntes discípuli cecidérunt in fáciem suam et timuérunt valde. Et accéssit Iésus et tétigit eos dixítque eis: “Súrgite et nolíte timére.” Levántes autem óculos suos, néminem vidérunt nisi solum Iésum. Et descendéntibus illis de monte, præcépit eis Iésus dicens: “Némini dixéritis visiónem, donec Fílius hóminis a mórtuis resúrgat.”
A that time, Jesus taketh unto him Peter, and James, & John his brother, & bringeth them into a high mountain apart: And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun: & his garments became white as snow. And behold there appeared to them Moyses and Elias talking with him. And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moyses, and one for Elias. And as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is my wellbeloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him. And the Disciples hearing it, fell upon their face, and were sore afraid. And Jesus came and touched them: and he said to them: Arise, and fear not. And they lifting up their eyes, saw nobody, but only Jesus. And as they descended from the mount, Jesus commanded them, saying: Tell the vision to nobody, till the Son of man be risen from the dead.
