The '''Transfiguration''' refers to a change in form by [[Jesus]] early in his ministry, as witnessed by [[Peter]], [[John the Apostle]], and James.  This is the subject of much [[art]]work, including a famous painting by [[Raphael]].<ref>https://www.raphaelpaintings.org/the-transfiguration.jsp</ref>

The Transfiguration 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 but omits a direct description of it despite how John was an eyewitness.

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