The Transfiguration, by Bellini, oil painting c.1480-1485

The Transfiguration refers to a change in form by Jesus early in his ministry, as witnessed by Peter, John the Apostle, and James.

It is described in multiple Gospels, Matthew 17:1–8, Mark 9:2–8, Luke 9:28–36, and also 2 Peter 1:16–18. The Gospel of John may allude to it at John 1:14.

Thomas Aquinas considered it to be among the greatest of all signs or miracles.

One hypothesis, considered heretical by some, is that Jesus did not realize his own divinity until the Transfiguration.
