The original New Testament account of the transfiguration is in Mark chapter 9. Jesus took Peter, James and John up into a high mountain, where his appearance changed and his garments became shining and as white as snow. The disciples saw him talking to Moses and Elijah. Mark's Gospel does not say in what way his appearance changed, but Matthew added that his face shone like the sun.

The disciples somehow knew without question that the strangers talking to Jesus were Moses and Elijah and offered to build three tabernacles, one each for Jesus, 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 supposedly absolute proof that Jesus was the Messiah, Peter went on to deny Jesus.
