Matthew 17:1-13, Mark 9:2-13, and Luke 9:28-36 tell the story of the Transfiguration of Jesus. In this event, Jesus takes three of his disciples - Peter, James, and John - up a high mountain where they witness Jesus being transfigured before them. His clothes become dazzling white and he is joined by Moses and Elijah. A voice from heaven proclaims, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!"
This event is significant as it affirms Jesus' divinity and confirms his position as the Son of God. It also provides hope and encouragement to his disciples, who are struggling to understand Jesus' message and his impending death.
