And he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became white like light.
This verse describes the transfiguration of Jesus, when his human appearance is changed before the disciples and the light of his divine glory is revealed to them. The shining of his face “like the sun” and the whiteness of his clothes “like light” show a divine radiance that comes from his very being. This does not mean that Jesus received something new at that moment, but that his true glory was disclosed to the disciples for a short time. This moment confirms that Jesus is not only a prophet or a teacher, but the Son of God, filled with divine glory.
