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.

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.

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.
