Ct Year C, Transfiguration, Commentary Luke 9:28-36, NT Since Luke& account of the Transfiguration itself closely follows Matthew and Mark, it will be more helpful to understand this event within the structure and flow of the Book of Luke. This passage is traditionally know as the Transfiguration, from the Greek term used by both Mark and Matthew to describe what happened to Jesus (metemorphotha, Mk 9:2-8, Mt 17:1-8). This not only suggests a pivotal event here, a new turning point in Jesus' ministry, it also links these two religious experiences of baptism and transfiguration as part of the definition of who Jesus is and what he is about. www.cresourcei.org /lectionary/YearC/Ctransfignt.html   (3842 words)

The Transfiguration, Cosmic Symbolism, and the Transformation of Consciousness in the Gospel of Mark The Transfiguration in the Gospel of Mark, which occurs roughly at the middle of the gospel, focuses on a dramatic metamorphosis of the clothing that Jesus is wearing, in which "his garments became glistening, intensely white, as no fuller on earth could bleach them" (9:3). The resonances that this array of images has with the other material we have discussed-- the transfiguration of Jesus, the clothing of Isis and Mithras, the initiation-garb of Lucius, the heavenly transformative garments of the apocalyptic seers, and so on-- are obvious and do not require further discussion. Thus the entire complex of late Hellenistic garment-imagery, of which Mark's transfiguration acccount is merely one example, may constitute a symbolically expressed collective intuition that the introjection of psychic energy can result in a decisive transformation of the self. www.well.com /user/davidu/transfiguration2.html   (1865 words)

The Glory of God: A Sermon for Transfiguration Sunday The transfiguration of Jesus revealed to his closest disciples the heavenly transformation to glory that awaits all the saints of Christ. The Eastern Orthodox Study Bible concisely describes the Transfiguration as, "the demonstration that Jesus is the Lord of glory despite the fact that he will later suffer and die on the cross." It is a foreshadowing of the Risen Lord. The mystical transfiguration experience probably sat in Peter's mind throughout all of the persecutions he endured; perhaps he could vividly recall it any time he wanted to. www.ancient-future.net /transfig.html   (1112 words)

Lectionary Discussion Forum for Preaching--Mark 9:2-9 With the 20th Century's advent of common lectionaries, the Gospel lesson of the Transfiguration event was put on the last Sunday after the Epiphany (coinciding with the Synoptic Gospel's chronology of events). Transfiguration marks the mid-way between Christmas and Easter, and it gives us something to both remember and anticipate, since Easter is still a long way off (literally and figuratively speaking). God transfigures Jesus and places him in the mysterious and miraculous presence of Elijah and Moses and then declares Jesus the Beloved Son and challenges the disciples ot listen to him. www.desperatepreacher.com /texts/mark9_2.htm   (11668 words)

Transfiguration The Transfiguration of Christ is the culminating point of His public life, as His Baptism is its starting point, and His Ascension its end. Moreover the summits of Hermon are covered with snow as late as June, and even the lesser peaks of 4000 or 5000 feet are likewise snow-covered in February and March, the period of the Transfiguration. Finally, the ancients judged of the height of mountains by their appearance, and Thabor especially was considered a "high mountain", if not by David and Jeremias, at least by Origen and St. Jerome and the pilgrims who made the ascent. www.catholicity.com /encyclopedia/t/transfiguration.html   (574 words)

Transfiguration of Christ The transfiguration was an amazing event in the life of Jesus Christ, and a memorable occasion for three disciples. The purpose of the transfiguration was to strengthen the hearts of the disciples whose concept of the crucifixion of Christ was one of denial. The transfiguration of Christ would open the eyes of the disciples to one grand truth--that everything written about him in the Law and the prophets must be fulfilled (Luke 24:44). www.gospelgazette.com /gazette/1999/jan/page12.shtml   (1555 words)

CCC Search Result - Paragraph # 556 Jesus' baptism proclaimed "the mystery of the first regeneration", namely, our Baptism; the Transfiguration "is the sacrament of the second regeneration": our own Resurrection. 556 On the threshold of the public life: the baptism; on the threshold of the Passover: the Transfiguration. The Transfiguration gives us a foretaste of Christ's glorious coming, when he "will change our lowly body to be like his glorious body."

The Transfiguration of Jesus The glorious transfiguration of Jesus on the mountain before his disciples came after he predicted his suffering and death and told his followers they must follow him. Even now, we can see intimations of God's glory in our earthly lives, brief encounters, transitory moments, transfigurations of a lesser kind, as Jesus leads us to the mountain to see his glory. In answer to his disciples' misgivings, Jesus took Peter, James and John up a high mountain and was transfigured before them. www.cptryon.org /prayer/season/2nd.html   (327 words)

Amazon.ca: The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved: Books For example, Phillips claims in the introduction that the three disciples at Jesus' transfiguration were SUPPOSED TO tell people about it after His resurection and gives three verses to support it. It's about Jesus Christ, through whom we can have peace with God, who died for sinners, who rose from the grave so that we can walk in newness of life. John was NOT The Disciple Who Jesus Loved - but most importantly - that GOD still has things HE wants to teach us "IF" we allow Him to. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/097026870X   (894 words)

The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved - who was that beloved disciple? From the Mt. of Transfiguration to Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead, from the Last Supper to Jesus’ prayers in the Garden of Gethsemane, this free printable Bible study presents the Biblical evidence needed to prove who wrote the Gospel of John – i.e. The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved uses the example of the Bereans who "searched the scriptures daily to see if it is so" and treats the facts in the Biblical record as testimony. A new book called The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved takes a closer look at this "other disciple" and the special role that he played in the life of Jesus. www.thedisciplewhomjesusloved.com   (846 words)

HAS BIBLE PROPHECY ALREADY BEEN FULFILLED? by Thomas Ice Peter follows Jesus' pattern of supporting the future Second Advent by citing the past transfiguration (2 Pet.

"A Historical View of John's Gospel" by David Wenham The absence of John in the narrative is otherwise very strange, since he, with his brother and with Peter, are members of the privileged 'inner circle' of three disciples of Jesus in the Synoptics: they witness momentous events like the transfiguration and the sufferings of Jesus in Gethsemane. John emphasizes that life is in Christ now, not because he has gone cold on future eschatology, but because he wants to affirm the sufficiency of Jesus in face of all competing claims. Certainly both Paul in 1 Corinthians and Jesus in John's Gospel emphasize divine revelation to Christians and the work of the Holy Spirit: it is entirely possible that Paul learned his emphasis on the Spirit, as other theological emphases, from the teaching of Jesus (directly or indirectly). www.biblicalstudies.org.uk /article_historical_dwenham.html   (7097 words)

Up, lummox! But the Transfiguration is the exception, not the rule, and for all of us, there will be post-Transfiguration moments, moments when Jesus will look the way he looked after the Transfiguration: human, normal, not particularly powerful, maybe a bit shabby or unimpressive. For many of us, there will be Transfiguration moments: moments when Jesus looks divine, filled with God’s beauty and power, ready to take on the world. One of my favorite things to do from time to time is to check the list of ER admittees and see what their presenting complaint was when they walk in. uplummox.blogspot.com   (4428 words)

Matthew 14:22-36 If the reader accepts my understanding of Jesus that He operated as a man (while being fully God) totally dependent upon the provision of God the Father for all the things which He did, then it would appear that Jesus must have had some inner witness that this was the right thing to do. We’ve met up with healing coming about through the touching of the fringe of Jesus’ garment before in Mtw 9:20 (Pp Luke 8:44) where the woman with the flow of blood secretly did the same when there were crowds pressing around Him, hoping that she might not be noticed. But it may be going too far to think that, as it was in the transfiguration shortly afterwards (Mtw 17:1-8), Jesus’ divinity was being displayed even though the disciples respond with such a proclamation once they receive Him into the boat (Mtw 14:33). www.arlev.clara.net /matt049.htm   (4428 words)

The Gospel of John - Movie Review - Living The Solution This gospel does not relate the account of the transfiguration or of James and John wanting to sit in positions of authority at the side of Jesus in heaven, but it does show disciples who were yearning for a Messiah. John the Baptist tells his followers, “there is the Lamb of God” and Andrew and John take that as an urging to go after Jesus. Peter is well illustrated as struggling at times and his denial of Christ the night of his arrest is prominent, but we also see Peter’s great love of the Lord. www.livingthesolution.com /gospelofjohn-moviereview.htm   (1158 words)

Matthew 3.13-17 Anyway, it would seem that Matthew intends a connection between the glorious events of Jesus' baptism and transfiguration, with the suffering servant of Isaiah 42. Throughout the opening chapters of Matthew, Jesus is given different titles from different sources. In the first chapter of Matthew, we are told that Joseph is a righteous man and, because of that, he plans to divorce Mary quietly, so as to not expose her to public disgrace. www.crossmarks.com /brian/matt3x13.htm   (2954 words)

Bible Book of John Over 90 percent of John is unique to his Gospel- John does not contain a genealogy or any record of Jesus birth, childhood, temptation, transfiguration, appointment of the disciples, nor any account of Jesus parables, ascension, or great commission. The main theme in the Bible book of John is to prove conclusively that Jesus is the Son of God and that all who believe in Him will have eternal life. John makes it clear that Jesus is not just a man; He is the eternal son of God. www.allaboutjesuschrist.org /bible-book-of-john-faq.htm   (2954 words)

The Apostles John, along with James and Peter, witnessed Jesus Christ's transfiguration, the raising from the dead of Jairus' daughter, and Jesus' agony in Gethsemane. Peter declared that he will never be offended because of Him, but Jesus’ response was that Peter would deny Him three times that night before the “cock crow”. Philip recognized Him to be the Messiah and went to his friend Nathanael (Bartholomew) saying, “We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph” and they both became disciples of Jesus (John 1:43–46). www.cryingvoice.com /Christian_martyrs/Apostles.html   (5777 words)
