The Transfiguration
Matt. 17:1 -3 ; Mark 9:2-13 ; Luke 9:28-36
The Biblical, New Testament account tells of Jesus with three of his disciples, Peter,
James, and John going up into snow-capped, Mount Hermon, near Caesarea Phillippi.
There the three observed an experience of their Master by which God sought to reveal
Jesus as His Son. In the words: "This is my beloved Son...hear ye him" Jesus was
established as the one who was the line of Elijah and Moses.
The details of the transfiguration as narrated by Luke are: the going of the four to the
mountain top to pray, the change which came over the face of Jesus, the glistening of his
garments, the sleepiness and awakening of the disciples to see the two prophets in
conversation with Jesus.
