The Transfiguration of the Lord, Cycle A

Sunday, August 6, 2023

Matthew 17:1–9
Jesus is transfigured on the mountain in the presence of Peter, James, and John.

In next Sunday’s Gospel, the passage tells us of when Jesus was with his friends on a high mountain when suddenly his clothes began to glow and two great men appeared with him—Moses and Elijah. We learn about this important affirmation experience in the life of Jesus, witnessed by three of his disciples. It is called the Transfiguration. This was a special moment for Jesus’ friends because they saw that Jesus was the Son of God. Peter wanted to save this memory by putting up three tents on the mountain—one for Jesus, one for Moses, and one for Elijah. Jesus’ friends were probably anxious to tell their friends what had happened on the mountain. But Jesus asked them to wait until after his death, when he could prove to everyone that he was the Son of God by coming back to life.
