Matthew 17:6 in Context — Matthew 17

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.

7 Mais Jésus, s’approchant, les toucha, et dit: Levez-vous, n’ayez pas peur!

8 Ils levèrent les yeux, et ne virent que Jésus seul.
