2 and was transfygured before them: and his face did shyne as the sunne and his clothes were as whyte as the light.

4 Then answered Peter and sayde to Iesus: master here is good beinge for vs. If thou wylt leet vs make here. iii. tabernacles one for the and one for Moses and one for Helyas.
5 Whyll he yet spake beholde a bright cloude shadowed them. And beholde there came a voyce out of ye cloude sayinge: this is my deare sonne in whom I delite heare him.
6 And when the disciples hearde that they fell on their faces and were soore afrayed.
7 And Iesus came and touched them and sayde: aryse and be not afrayed.
