Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

Peter, James, and John had traveled up a mountain with Jesus, just as Elisha had gone with Elijah. And suddenly, things change! Jesus is transfigured before them. His appearance changed. His clothes became radiant, intensely white; an unearthly white. There were no fiery chariots and horsemen from heaven -- instead, in this glory there appeared Elijah and Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. Mark doesn't tell us what they were talking about, but Luke does; they were talking about Jesus' departure, His Exodus.
