Listen to him.” - 18 We also heard this voice conveyed from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain. - 19 And so, we have an even firmer prophetic word, to which you would do well to listen, as to a light shining within a dark place, until the day dawns, and the daystar rises, in your hearts.

And so let us make three tabernacles, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” - 5 For he did not know what he was saying. For they were overwhelmed by fear. - 6 And there was a cloud overshadowing them. And a voice came from the cloud, saying: “This is my most beloved Son. Listen to him.” - 7 And immediately, looking around, they no longer saw anyone, except Jesus alone with them. - 8 And as they were descending from the mountain, he instructed them not to relate to anyone what they had seen, until after the Son of man will have risen again from the dead. - 9 And they kept the word to themselves, arguing about what “after he will have risen from the dead” might mean. Catholic Public Domain Version · in the CPDV this is Mark 9:1–9 Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Mark 9](https://blessbible.app/bible/mark/9/) Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish. In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version. Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does. Spotted a wrong date, color or citation?
