In Matthew 17, Jesus has just pulled aside three of his disciples—Peter, James, and John. He brings them up on the mountain, and all of a sudden, he was changed. His clothes were bright white. His face shone like the sun. And he was talking to Moses and Elijah. Peter offers to build three tabernacles, one to honor each of them. Before Peter could even finish, they hear a voice from heaven saying “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” When they hear the voice they all fall to the ground. Jesus picks them back up again. Now, Jesus is the only one they see. At the center of this passage is an act of worship.
