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.
Peter's statement
It is understood that Peter made the statement that he said to Jesus at the transfiguration (Luke 9:33) because he was both tired and unsure of what to say.[1]
