Luke 9:36

Jesus

34 While Peter was speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

35 And a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to Him!”

After the voice had spoken, only Jesus was present with them. The disciples kept this to themselves, and in those days they did not tell anyone what they had seen.

37 The next day, when they came down from the mountain, Jesus was met by a large crowd.

38 Suddenly a man in the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, for he is my only child.
