This Bible story podcast for kids tells the story of the Transfiguration. We referenced the following Biblical passages: Matthew 17:1-13, Luke 9:28–36, Mark 9: 2–13 . Hey-O Kids Curriculum’s primary goal with the Stories of the Bible is to tell the stories from God’s word accurately and in a way that is engaging to children of all ages.

This is Jesus. Who is the Son of God And the Savior of the World. While Jesus was on earth, he taught everyone about God’s love, he healed many people from their sickness, performed many miracles like calming storms, and even raised people from the dead.

One day, Jesus took Peter, James, and John up a high mountain to pray. As Jesus was praying, he was transformed so that his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light. Suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared and began talking with Jesus about how he would leave from this world.

Peter didn’t know what to say and they were all afraid, so he said “It’s wonderful for us to be here! Let’s make three shelters as memorials—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” But as Peter was speaking, a bright cloud came over them and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy. Listen to him.” 

The disciples were terrified and fell face down on the ground. Jesus came over and touched them. He said, “Get up. Don’t be afraid.” And when the disciples looked up, Moses and Elijah were gone.

As they went back down the mountain Jesus told them not to tell anyone what they saw until they saw that he was raised from the dead. So they kept it to themselves, but they often asked each other what he meant by “rising from the dead.”
