Listen hard to the Gospel. Afterward, circle the right word from the pairs of bold words in this story:

Jesus took Peter, James, and John with him. They went up on a high mountain/tower, where they could be alone. There in front of the disciples, Jesus/Peter was completely changed. 3And his clothes became much whiter/redder than any bleach/dye on earth could make them. 4Then Moses and Elijah were there talking with Jesus/Peter.
5Peter said to Jesus, "Teacher, it is good for us to be here! Let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." 6But Peter and the others were terribly frightened/silly, and he did not know what he was talking about.
7The shadow of a cloud/eagle passed over and covered them. From the cloud a voice/angel said, "This is my Son, and I love him. Listen to what he says!"
