Matthew 17:2
He was transfigured before them. That is, transformed, changed
in form. The great object was to reveal to the disciples his Divine
glory before they beheld his humiliation upon the cross, in order to
sustain their faith in the hour of trial.
His face did shine as the sun. Thus John describes the glorified
Savior when he beheld him on Patmos: "His face as the sun when he
shineth in his strength" (Revelation 1:16).
His raiment was white as the light. Mark says, "white as snow"
(Mark 9:3). The comparison may have been suggested by the snow of
Hermon. It was a vision of supernatural splendor.
