“And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.”
And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light. The transfiguration — the momentary visible manifestation of Jesus' divine glory — is described through two images: the face shining like the sun and the clothes white as light. The face-like-the-sun parallels the description of the Son of Man in Revelation 1:16 and recalls Moses' face shining after the divine encounter (Exodus 34:29–35). The white-as-light garments are the standard imagery of heavenly beings (Matthew 28:3, Daniel 7:9).
