6:12-16 Now
it happened in those days that he went out to the mountain to pray. He
was spending the whole night in the prayer of God. When it became day he called his
disciples to him and chose twelve of them.
He thereby named as apostles, Simon whom he re-named Peter. Then there was Andrew his brother and James
and John. There was Philip and
Bartholomew and Matthew and Thomas.
There was James son of Alphaeus and Simon
who was also called a Zealot. There
was Judas (son) of James and Judas Iscariot who became the betrayer.

9:28-36 It happened that after about eight days after
these sayings (to his disciples when they were alone at prayer) he (Jesus)
took Peter and John and James and went up into the mountain to pray. As he prayed his face took on a different
appearance and his clothes were gleaming white. Then behold there were two men conversing
with him. They were Moses and
Elias. They were appearing in glory
and spoke of his exodus which he was about to accomplish in Jerusalem. Peter and those with him had been weary
and slept. They awoke with a start
to see his glory and the two men standing there with him. It happened that when the two departed
Peter said to Jesus. "Master it
is good for us to be here. Let us
make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for
Elias." Basically he did not
know what he was saying. While he
was still talking a cloud came and overshadowed them. They were afraid as the cloud enveloped
them. Then a voice came out of the
cloud saying "This is my Son.
He is my chosen one. Hear
him." And after the voice had
gone they found Jesus alone. They
were silent about this and did not speak about what they had seen to anyone
in the days to follow.
