Listen to him.”<br> Suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone<br> but Jesus alone with them.As they were coming down from the mountain,<br> he charged them not to relate what they had seen to anyone,<br> except when the Son of Man had risen from the dead.<br> So they kept the matter to themselves,<br> questioning what rising from the dead meant.<br> <br> <br> Lectionary for Mass for Use in the Dioceses of the United States, second typical edition, Copyright © 2001, 1998, 1997, 1986, 1970 Confraternity of Christian Doctrine; Psalm refrain © 1968, 1981, 1997, International Committee on English in the Liturgy, Inc.
