Transfigured; changed in his appearance.

His raiment was white as light; resplendent as lightning. The three apostles were here favored with a glimpse of the future glory of the Saviour and his true followers, well calculated to strengthen their faith in passing through the trying scenes that were before them, and through them to strengthen the faith of all his disciples amid "the sufferings of this present time." Romans 8:18; Philippians 3:21; 1 John 3:2. The glory of the Saviour when on earth was veiled in him humanity; but on the Mount of Transfiguration it shone forth above the brightness of the sun; and as a full view of it, if continued, would unfit his people for their duties on earth, they must wait for this till they see him in heaven.
