Mat 17:2 | MHM | STEP | v. 2 : On the mountain, Jesus is transfigured before them—his face shines like the sun, and his clothes become as white as light (Matthew 17:2 ). This change shows Jesus’s divine glory. For a moment, the disciples see him as he truly is, the Son of God. His shining appearance reminds us of how Moses’s face shone when he spoke with God (Exodus 34:29-35 ), but Jesus’s glory is even greater.
