Bible readings for today:
2 Corinthians 4: 3-6
And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are
perishing. In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the
unbelievers, to keep them from seeing clearly the light of the gospel of the
glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For we do not proclaim ourselves;
we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus’s
sake. For it is the God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has
shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in
the face of Christ.
Mark 9: 2-9
The Transfiguration
Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain apart, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling bright, such as no one on earth could brighten them.
And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, who were talking with
Jesus. Then Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us
set up three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” He did not know what to say, for they were terrified. Then a cloud over-shadowed them, and from the cloud there came a voice,
“This is my Son, the Beloved; listen to him!”
Suddenly when they looked around, they saw no one with them any more,
but only Jesus. As they were coming down the mountain, he ordered them to tell no one about what they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
