| didst reveal His glory upon the holy mount, | 6:10 | |
| grant unto us that we, | 6:14 | |
| beholding by faith the light of his countenance, | 6:16 | |
| may be strengthened to bear our cross | 6:19 | |
| and be changed into His likeness from glory to glory, | 6:22 | |
| through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, | 6:27 | |
| who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, | 6:29 | |
| one God forever and ever, amen. | 6:33 | |

| - | Let us pray. | 8:40 |
| Open our hearts and minds, O God, | 8:42 | |
| by the power of your Holy Spirit, | 8:46 | |
| so that, as the Word is read and proclaimed, | 8:48 | |
| we might hear with joy what you say to us this day, amen. | 8:52 | |
| Our first lesson is a reading from the book of Exodus. | 8:58 | |
| When Moses came down from Mount Sinai, | 9:02 | |
| with the two tables of the testimony in his hand | 9:05 | |
| as he came down from the mountain, | 9:08 | |
| Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone | 9:10 | |
| because he had been talking with God. | 9:14 | |
| And when Aaron and all of the people of Israel saw Moses, | 9:16 | |
| behold, the skin of his face shone, | 9:20 | |
| and they were afraid to come near him. | 9:22 | |
| But, Moses called to them, and Aaron | 9:25 | |
| and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, | 9:28 | |
| and Moses talked with them. | 9:31 | |
| And afterward, all the people of Israel came near, | 9:33 | |
| and he gave them in commandment | 9:37 | |
| all that the Lord had spoken with him in Mount Sinai. | 9:39 | |
| And when Moses had finished speaking with them, | 9:43 | |
| he put a veil on his face, | 9:45 | |
| but whenever Moses went in before the Lord | 9:48 | |
| to speak with him, he took the veil off until he came out. | 9:50 | |
| And when he came out and told the people of Israel | 9:55 | |
| what he was commanded, the people of Israel saw | 9:58 | |
| that the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone, | 10:01 | |
| and that Moses would put the veil on his face again | 10:06 | |
| until he went in to speak with Him. | 10:09 | |

| - | A reading from the Gospel According to Luke. | 13:08 |
| Now, about eight days after these sayings, | 13:12 | |
| He took with Him Peter, and John, and James, | 13:15 | |
| and went up on the mountain to pray. | 13:18 | |
| And as He was praying, | 13:20 | |
| the appearance of his countenance was altered | 13:22 | |
| and his raiment became dazzling white. | 13:24 | |
| And, behold, two men talked with Him, Moses and Elijah, | 13:27 | |
| who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, | 13:31 | |
| which He was to accomplish at Jerusalem. | 13:34 | |
| Now, Peter and those who were with Him | 13:37 | |
| were heavy with sleep, | 13:39 | |
| and when they wakened, they saw His glory | 13:41 | |
| and the two men who stood with Him. | 13:44 | |
| And, as the men were parting from Him, | 13:47 | |
| Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is well that we are here." | 13:49 | |
| "Let us make three booths," | 13:53 | |
| "one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah," | 13:54 | |
| not knowing what he said. | 13:58 | |
| As he said this, a cloud came down and overshadowed them, | 14:00 | |
| and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. | 14:04 | |
| And, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, | 14:08 | |
| "This is my son, my chosen, listen to Him." | 14:10 | |
| And, when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone, | 14:15 | |
| and they kept silence and told no one in those days | 14:19 | |
| anything of what they had seen. | 14:22 | |
