What does the Bible say about the transfiguration of Jesus?

Answered in 48 sources

The transfiguration of Jesus is a moment where His divine glory was revealed to Peter, James, and John, occurring on a high mountain where He was seen speaking with Moses and Elijah.

The transfiguration of Jesus is described in Matthew 17:1-13, where Jesus leads Peter, James, and John to a high mountain apart from the others. There, Jesus is transfigured, His face shining like the sun and His garments becoming as white as light. This event serves as a glorious manifestation of His deity in the presence of the chosen disciples, confirming His nature as the Son of God. Moses and Elijah appear alongside Him, symbolizing the Law and the Prophets, respectively, conversing with Jesus about His upcoming exodus in Jerusalem, which refers to His impending death and resurrection.
