Paragraph 3. THE MYSTERIES OF CHRIST’S LIFE
554
From the day Peter confessed that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living
God, the Master “began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem
and suffer many things. . . and be killed, and on the third day be
raised.”290 Peter scorns this prediction, nor do the others
understand it any better than he.291 In this context the mysterious
episode of Jesus’ Transfiguration takes place on a high mountain,292
before three witnesses chosen by himself: Peter, James and John. Jesus’ face
and clothes become dazzling with light, and Moses and Elijah appear, speaking
“of his departure, which he was to accomplish at
Jerusalem”.293 A cloud covers him and a voice from heaven says:
“This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!”294
