Mark 9:1-10
The Transfiguration
2 Six days later Jesus took Peter, James, and John to the top of a mountain. No one else was there.
      As the men watched, Jesus' appearance changed,
3 and his clothing became dazzling white, far whiter than any earthly process could ever make it.
4 Then Elijah and Moses appeared and began talking with Jesus.
5 "Teacher, this is wonderful!" Peter exclaimed. "We will make three shrines —
     one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
6 He didn't really know what to say, for they were all terribly afraid.
7 Then a cloud came over them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him."
8 Suddenly they looked around, and Moses and Elijah were gone, and only Jesus was with them.
9 As they descended the mountainside, he told them not to tell anyone what they had seen until he,
     the Son of Man, had risen from the dead.
10 So they kept it to themselves, but they often asked each other what he meant by "rising from the dead."
(NLT)

Jesus showed Peter, James and John who He truly was "the Son of Man" "the Messiah." They needed to see the real Jesus for Jesus was going to use them to begin His church. Peter of course puts his foot in his mouth but that's OK because we do too. We too need to do what God told Peter, James and John and that is to listen to God's beloved Son. The world lies to us all the time and tries to get us to believe anything. But Jesus is always honest, truthful and does what He says. There is always consistancy with Jesus. The world is unstable but Jesus is the Solid Rock.
