  3. Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. Revelation and Confirmation of His Divine Nature Matthew 17:1-2

  4. Change of appearance… -Face, 17:2 (Lk 9:29; Rev 1:16) -Clothing, 17:2 (Mk 9:3) Glory of Deity -Phil 2:5-8 -Heb 1:3 -1 Tim 6:16 A glimpse of Christ’s divine glory Matthew 17:1-2

  5. Isaiah saw His glory, Jno 12: 41 (Isa 6:1-3) Peter had stumbled at the cross -Now given amazing assurance that confirms faith (2 Pet 1:16, 19) Eyewitnesses of His Majesty Matthew 17:1-2; 2 Peter 1:16

  6. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. Moses and Elijah Appeared and Talked with Jesus Matthew 17:3

  7. Accomplished at Jerusalem, Jno 10:18; 17:4 -Moment of transcendent glory, His death is discussed -The Law and the prophets foresaw it, Luke 24:25-27 They talked of His decease Luke 9:31

  8. Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!” The Authority of Jesus is Endorsed by the Father Matthew 17:4-9

  9. Build three tabernacles (”not knowing what he said”) “Humble silence is better than presumptuous talk.” (Pulpit Comm.) Peter’s proposal Luke 9:33; Mark 9:6

  10. Jesus came to fulfill L & P, Matt 5:17 -His life, death & resurrection, Lk 24:44-45 Authority of Christ abides -Deut 18:18 -Acts 3:22-23 Moses and Elijah were leaving, but Jesus Remained Luke 9:33

  11. This is My beloved Son (Jesus) In whom I am well pleased -Heb 10:7 -Jno 8:29, 55 Hear Him! -Matt 13:9 The Father’s endorsement of Son Matt 17:5; 2 Pet 1:17-18 (Isa 42:1)

  12. Time had not yet come for a general announcement After His resurrection all apostles would say, “My Lord and my God”! (Jno 20:28) Tell of the transfiguration after His resurrection Matt 17:9 (Rom 1:4)

  13. Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first? Jesus answered and said to them, "Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things. But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him… Elijah had Already Come Matthew 17:10-13

  14. Elijah who appeared with Jesus was not Malachi’s Elijah Spirit & power, Lk 1:16-17 Before the Messiah came in judgment Mal 4:5-6 Apostles confused about prophecy of Elijah coming Matt 17:10; Malachi 4:4-6

  15. John the baptizer Matt 17:11-12 Matt 11:14 -Restore all things (set in order), Matt 3:2 -Rejected, Jno 5:33-35 -Son of Man to also be rejected Apostles confused about prophecy of Elijah coming Matt 17:10; Malachi 4:4-6

  16. For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.“ “We Beheld His Glory” 2 Peter 1:16-17

  17. For Moses truly said to the fathers, ‘The Lord you God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever he says to you. And it shall be that every soul who does not hear that prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’ Hear Him in All Things Acts 3:22-23
