34And while he said these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
35And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my Son, my chosen: hear ye him.
36And when the voice came, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no man in those days any of the things which they had seen.
37And it came to pass, on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
