Matthew 17:1-2,5 [Latin]

1 And after six days Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart:

And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun: and his garments became white as snow.

And as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him.

Assumpsit Jesus petrum, et Jacobum, et Joannem fratrem eius, et duxit eos in montem excelsum seorsum, et transfiguratus est ante eos. Et ecce vox de nube dicens: Hic est filius meus dilectus, in quo mihi bene complacui, ipsum audite.


Assumpsit Jesus Petrum, from Liber motectorum, Salamanca (1610), composed by Sebastián de Vivanco (c1551-1622)
