Jesus Is Changed on the Mountain Top

Mark 9: 2 - 8

Matthew 17: 1 - 9

Transfigure means to change in appearance, sometimes in even a supernatural way. As we read the lesson, we see that not only Jesus' face was changed, but also his clothing. The passage in Mark gives the most striking description.
