Matthew 17:4 in Context — Matthew 17
2 Il fut transfiguré devant eux; son visage resplendit comme le soleil, et ses vêtements devinrent blancs comme la lumière.
3 Et voici, Moïse et Élie leur apparurent, s’entretenant avec lui.
4 Pierre, prenant la parole, dit à Jésus: Seigneur, il est bon que nous soyons ici; si tu le veux, je dresserai ici trois tentes, une pour toi, une pour Moïse, et une pour Élie.
5 Comme il parlait encore, une nuée lumineuse les couvrit. Et voici, une voix fit entendre de la nuée ces paroles: Celui-ci est mon Fils bien-aimé, en qui j’ai mis toute mon affection: écoutez-le!
6 Lorsqu’ils entendirent cette voix, les disciples tombèrent sur leur face, et furent saisis d’une grande frayeur.
