CHRIST, THE GREAT TEA ER 403
apostles listened and heard them speaking about His death that would take place in Jerusalem.
Seeing that Moses and Elias were about to leave, Peter cried out to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make here three tabernacles, one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.'' The words were hardly out of his mouth whe there came a great cloud, which overshadowed them and covered the top of the mountain. Out of the cloud, they heard a voice, saying, ''This is My beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased. Hear ye Him.''
Terror lled the hearts of Peter, James, and John and they fell upon their faces. Then someone touched them, and they heard a voice saying, ''Arise, fear not.'' Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus. They started down the side of the mountain with Him _and, as they went along, Jesus said to them,
'' Tell the vision to no man till the Son of Man be risen from the dead.''
