This week's Gospel: 2nd Sunday of Lent

The actual Latin source is Codex Sangallensis 56,
but this is believed to be an ultra-faithful copy of Victor's Codex Fuldensis Gospel.

This week’s Gospel as in the Codex Fuldensis Gospel: 2nd Sunday of Lent
Using data publicly available from:

and The Sunday Missal to cross-check.
This Week's Gospel: Mark 9: 2 - 10
(8th-Mar-2009) 2nd Sunday of Lent, Year B

This is my Son, the Beloved.
The account found here, though witnessing the same incident, is almost entirely reported according to Matthew, though there are about thirteen words, (11 Latin) from Mark, and sixteen words, (13 Latin) from Luke. The tale is embodied in the first part of the capitulum following.

XCI. (Ubi Ihesus dicit quibusdam adstantibus non gustare mortem,)
et in monte transfiguratur.

((Where Jesus says: Some of those standing here will not taste death,)
and is transfigured on the mountain.)


91: 1
And after six days he taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother,
and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart, to pray.
And whilst he prayed,
he was transfigured before them.
And his face did shine as the sun:
and his garments became white as snow.
shining and exceeding white,
so as no fuller upon earth can make white.
2
And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with him in majesty.
And they spoke of his decease that he should accomplish in Jerusalem.
Peter answering, said to Jesus:
Lord, it is good for us to be here:
if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles,
one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
3
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.
And the disciples hearing fell upon their face, and were very much afraid.
And Jesus came and touched them: and said to them:
Arise, and fear not.
And they lifting up their eyes, saw no one, but only Jesus.
4a
And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying:
Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen from the dead.
