In spite of this life-changing event, and its absolute proof that Jesus was the Messiah, Peter went on to deny Jesus.

Jesus

Jesus instructed his disciples not to tell others about the Transfiguration until after his resurrection because the full impact and understanding of his divinity needed to be revealed at the appropriate time. It was a pivotal moment in his ministry that needed to be kept secret until the right moment for the fulfillment of his mission.

A:In an apparently artificial structure, Mark's Gospel gives us the chronology of the last twenty four hours in the life of Jesus, breaking them up into eight segments each of exactly three hours, and the later gospels follow this pattern more or less faithfully. After having a Passover meal, which traditionally took three hours and was followed by a hymn, Jesus went out to the Garden of Gethsemene at just 9 pm. He went to pray and, when he returned, found the disciples asleep and asked, "Could you not watch one hour?" Jesus returned to the disciples three times. It was now midnight, the darkest hour and time for the darkest deed, his betrayal.
I don't know about them being referred to as "the circle", but the three disciples of the twelve that Jesus took with him to certain places, like the Mountain of Transfiguration, Garden of Gethsemane, etc. were Simon Peter, James, and John. (Matthew 17)
The upper part The Transfiguration of Jesus is an event reported by three of the Gospels in which Jesus is transfigured upon a mountain (one is Matthew 17: 1-9). Jesus became radiant, spoke with Moses and Elijah, and was called "Son" by God. Peter, James and John were with Jesus upon the mountain. The transfiguration put Jesus above Moses and Elijah, the two preeminent figures of Judaism.The lower part is a different scene from the Bible, in which the disciples fail to cure a sick boy.
To show the three disciples that Jesus is the son of God, and to hear God's voice from heaven saying, " This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him." *Matthew 17.5)
Jesus' disciples were His companions for three years, accompanying Him throughout His ministry. After they had witnessed the Resurrection, the disciples bore witness to what they had seen and knew - that Jesus was indeed risen from the dead and God's son. They preached this message until the end of their lives, endured persecution in His name, and wrote a record of what they had seen and heard. These writings became part of the New Testament.
A:Jesus took Peter, James and John up into a high mountain, where his appearance changed, and they saw him talking to two strangers. Somehow, the disciples knew without question that the strangers talking to Jesus were Moses and Elijah. However, the Transfiguration certainly does not seem to have explained anything that the disciples understood or removed any confusion they might have felt. Read literally, the sole reason for this journey was to let the three disciples see Jesus talking to Moses and Elijah, yet they learnt nothing from the experience and were even instructed to tell no one. In spite of this life-changing event, and its absolute proof that Jesus was the Messiah, Peter went on to deny Jesus. If the Transfiguration ever happened, it must be that he was less sure of who the strangers were than is suggested in the gospel story. Why the disciples even thought the men were Moses and Elijah is not stated.
St. Peter, or Peter the apostle (as he is called in the New Testament) was one of Jesus' 12 disciples, and also one of Jesus' "inner circle" of 3 disciples, Peter, James and John. Jesus took these three with him up the mountain to the transfiguration (Matthew 17) As Jesus predicted, Peter betrayed Jesus by denying him, and was 'reinstated' by Jesus after the resurrection.
Jesus instructed his disciples not to tell others about the Transfiguration until after his resurrection because the full impact and understanding of his divinity needed to be revealed at the appropriate time. It was a pivotal moment in his ministry that needed to be kept secret until the right moment for the fulfillment of his mission.
Jesus took Peter, James and John up into a high mountain, where his appearance changed, and they saw him talking to two strangers whom the disciples knew without question to be Moses and Elijah. Read literally, the sole reason for this journey was to let the three disciples see Jesus talking to Moses and Elijah. Yet they learnt nothing from the experience and were even instructed to tell no one. In spite of this life-changing event, and its absolute proof that Jesus was the Messiah, Peter went on to deny Jesus. The transfiguration did nothing to help the disciples. In fact, scholars say that the biblical events associated with Moses and Elijah never really happened, so it is unlikely they ever existed. Mark had a strong motive for creating the story of this event since, with no resurrection appearances in the original Gospel, it is this episode that provided the best evidence that Mark could offer, of divine support for Jesus.
AnswerAccording to Mark chapter 9, Peter, James and John witnessed the transfiguration of Jesus and saw him talking to Moses and Elias (Elijah). however, it seems they learnt nothing from the experience and were even instructed to tell no one. And, in spite of this life-changing event, and its supposedly absolute proof that Jesus was the Messiah, Peter went on to deny Jesus.
Here Judas betrayed Jesus and peter denied Jesus three times.
Peter, James, and John were the three disciples who went with Jesus to the mountain where he was transfigured.
The disciples were Peter, James and John. (Mark 14:33)
