The Transfiguration of Jesus is an event described in the Gospel of Luke where Jesus takes Peter, John, and James up a mountain to pray. As he is praying, his appearance changes and his face shines like the sun, and his clothes become dazzling white.
Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appear and begin talking with Jesus about his upcoming death in Jerusalem. Peter, not knowing what to say, suggests building three shelters for Jesus, Moses, and Elijah.
A cloud then appears and envelops them, and a voice from the cloud says, "This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!" The disciples are filled with fear and awe, and when the cloud lifts, they see only Jesus.
This event is seen as a significant moment in Jesus' ministry, as it confirms his divine nature and his role as the Son of God. It also foreshadows his death and resurrection, as well as the coming of the Kingdom of God.
