Matthew 16:28-17:5 GNB
(28) I assure you that there are some here who will not die until they have seen the Son of Man come as King." (1) Six days later Jesus took with him Peter and the brothers James and John and led them up a high mountain where they were alone. (2) As they looked on, a change came over Jesus: his face was shining like the sun, and his clothes were dazzling white. (3) Then the three disciples saw Moses and Elijah talking with Jesus. (4) So Peter spoke up and said to Jesus, "Lord, how good it is that we are here! If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." (5) While he was talking, a shining cloud came over them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my own dear Son, with whom I am pleased---listen to him!"

Matthew 16:28-17:5 NWT
28 Truly I say to you that there are some of those standing here that will not taste death at all until first they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom." 17 Six days later Jesus took Peter and James and John his brother along and brought them up into a lofty mountain by themselves. 2 And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his outer garments became brilliant as the light. 3 And, look! there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, conversing with him. 4 Responsively Peter said to Jesus: "Lord, it is fine for us to be here. If you wish, I will erect three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah." 5 While he was yet speaking, look! a bright cloud overshadowed them, and, look! a voice out of the cloud, saying: "This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved; listen to him."

Matthew 16:28-17:5 YLT
(28) Verily I say to you, there are certain of those standing here who shall not taste of death till they may see the Son of Man coming in his reign.' (1) And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his brother, and doth bring them up to a high mount by themselves, (2) and he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his garments did become white as the light, (3) and lo, appear to them did Moses and Elijah, talking together with him. (4) And Peter answering said to Jesus, `Sir, it is good to us to be here; if thou wilt, we may make here three booths--for thee one, and for Moses one, and one for Elijah.' (5) While he is yet speaking, lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, `This is My Son, --the Beloved, in whom I did delight; hear him.'

They went up on a very high mountain where they could be alone. (2) There in front of the disciples, Jesus was completely changed. His face was shining like the sun, and his clothes became white as light. (3) All at once Moses and Elijah were there talking with Jesus.
