AUGUST 6, TRANSFIGURATION (A, B, C) Lectionary #614
Just when you think you know someone . . .

Daniel 7:9-10, 13-14. Daniel's vision of the heavenly court includes the presence of a mysterious figure whose name is translated as "a Son of man." This figure is given everlasting dominion over the earth and all peoples.

Psalm of the Day: Ps (96) 97
An enthronement psalm, sung to praise the Lord as king and to give thanks that the divine kingdom is full of joy.

2 Peter 1:16-19. The remarkable experience of the Transfiguration is evoked to give Christians under persecution a reason to hope.

Matthew 17:1-9. Jesus is revealed as the completion of the Torah (Moses) and the prophets (Elijah). Peter, as usual, gets the wrong message and wants to make a permanent encampment out of the experience. The voice of God from the cloud frightens the disciples, but Jesus tells them what he also tells them after the resurrection: "Do not be afraid."
