The Transfiguration
  • 1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James,
    and John his brother, and bringeth them up into
    an high mountain apart, 2 And was transfigured
    before them and his face did shine as the sun,
    and his raiment was white as the light. 3 And,
    behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias
    talking with him. 4 Then answered Peter, and
    said unto 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.

The Transfiguration
  • 5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud
    overshadowed them and behold a voice out of the
    cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in
    whom I am well pleased hear ye him. 6 And when
    the disciples heard it, they fell on their face,
    and were sore afraid. 7 And Jesus came and
    touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
    8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they
    saw no man, save Jesus only (Matt. 17 Mark 9
    2-10, Luke 9 28-36).

The Transfiguration
  • The Transfiguration of Christ is the culminating
    point of His public life, as His baptism is its
    starting point, and His ascension its end. About
    a week after His sojourn in Caesarea Philippi,
    Jesus took with him Peter and James and John and
    led them to a high mountain apart, where He was
    transfigured before their ravished eyes. This
    dazzling brightness which emanated from His whole
    Body was produced by an interior shining of His
    Divinity. False Judaism had rejected the Meshiah,
    and now true Judaism, represented by Moses and
    Elias, the Law and the Prophets, recognized and
    adored Him, while for the second time God the
    Father proclaimed Him His only-begotten and
    well-loved Son. By this glorious manifestation
    the Divine Master, who had just foretold His
    Passion to the apostles (Matthew 16 21), and who
    spoke with Moses and Elias of the trials which
    awaited Him at Jerusalem, strengthened the faith
    of his three friends and prepared them for the
    terrible struggle of which they were to be
    witnesses in Gethsemani, by giving them a
    foretaste of the glory and heavenly delights to
    which we attain by suffering (Catholic
    Encyclopedia).
