“And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.”
Matthew 17:2 (KJV)
Commentary on Matthew 17:2
The transformation—'he was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light'—reveals Jesus' divine glory temporarily unveiled. 'Transfigured' (Greek: metamorphoō) means to change form, revealing His true nature. His shining face recalls Moses' glowing face after encountering God (Exodus 34:29-30), but exceeds it ('as the sun'). The brilliant white garments symbolize divine purity and heavenly glory. This glimpse of Jesus' pre-incarnate and post-resurrection glory strengthened disciples for coming trials.
