Matthew 17:1-9 recounts the Transfiguration of Jesus, where Peter, James, and John witness His divine glory on a high mountain. Jesus’ face shines like the sun, and His clothes become dazzling white, revealing His true nature as the Son of God. Moses and Elijah appear beside Him, representing the fulfillment of prophecy—the Law and the Prophets—affirming Jesus as the culmination of God’s redemptive plan.
A voice from a bright cloud declares, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to Him.” This moment of divine revelation affirms Jesus' authority and calls the disciples to obedience to Christ. Overwhelmed by the experience, they fall in fear, but Jesus reassures them, instructing them not to speak of what they have seen until after His resurrection. This passage invites believers into a spiritual awakening, recognizing Jesus as the true revelation of God’s glory and the fulfillment of His promises.
