Transfiguration
The Greek word metamorphoō, which means “transfigure,” is used in the New Testament to describe three significant events: the time Jesus was completely glorified in His bodily appearance in the presence of James, Peter, and John; the time Jesus arose from the dead and was transfigured; and the time when all believers will also receive a new, transfigured body when they rise from the dead.
The transfiguration preceded Jesus' time on the cross and may have been the Father's preparatory provision to strengthen Jesus as He prepared to bear the sins of the world.
