Genesis 12: 1-4
12:1 Then the Lord said to Abram: “Depart from your land, and from your kindred, and from your father’s house, and come into the land that I will show you.
12:2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and magnify your name, and you will be blessed.
12:3 I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you, and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”
12:4 And so Abram departed just as the Lord had instructed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.

Second Letter to Timothy 1:8-10
1:8 En so, moenie skaam wees oor die getuienis van ons Here nie, ook nie van my nie, sy gevangene. In plaas daarvan, saam te werk met die Evangelie in ooreenstemming met die deugde van God,
1:9 wat ons bevry het en ons tot sy heilige roeping geroep het, nie volgens ons werke nie, maar volgens sy eie doel en genade, wat aan ons gegee is in Christus Jesus, voor die eeue van die tyd.
1:10 En dit is nou geopenbaar deur die verligting van ons Verlosser, Jesus Christus, wat beslis die dood vernietig het, en wat ook lewe en onverganklikheid deur die Evangelie verlig het.
Evangelie
Matteus 17: 1-9
17:1 And after six days, Jesus took Peter and James and his brother John, and he led them onto a lofty mountain separately.
17:2 And he was transfigured before them. And his face shined brightly like the sun. And his garments were made white like snow.
17:3 En kyk, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, speaking with him.
17:4 And Peter responded by saying to Jesus: “Here, dit is goed vir ons om hier te wees. As jy gewillig is, let us make three tabernacles here, een vir jou, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
17:5 And while he was still speaking, kyk, a shining cloud overshadowed them. En kyk, there was a voice from the cloud, sê: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased. Luister na hom.”
17:6 And the disciples, hearing this, fell prone on their face, and they were very afraid.
17:7 And Jesus drew near and touched them. En hy het vir hulle gesê, “Rise up and do not be afraid.”
17:8 En hulle oë opslaan, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.
17:9 And as they were descending from the mountain, Jesus instructed them, sê, “Tell no one about the vision, until the Son of man has risen from the dead.”
