Mark 9: 2-13 - 'Jesus was transfigured in their presence.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 552 (in 'The Keys of the Kingdom') - Simon Peter holds the first place in the college of the Twelve; Jesus entrusted a unique mission to him (abbreviated).

- 151 (in 'To Believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God') - For a Christian, believing in God cannot be separated from believing in the One he sent, his "beloved Son", in whom the Father is "well pleased"; God tells us to listen to him. The Lord himself said to his disciples: "Believe in God, believe also in me." We can believe in Jesus Christ because he is himself God, the Word made flesh: "No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known." Because he "has seen the Father", Jesus Christ is the only one who knows him and can reveal him.

- 459 (in 'Why did the Word become Flesh?') - The Word became flesh to be our model of holiness: "Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me." "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me." On the mountain of the Transfiguration, the Father commands: "Listen to him!"

- 649 (in 'The Resurrection - A Work of the Holy Trinity') - As for the Son, he effects his own Resurrection by virtue of his divine power. Jesus announces that the Son of man will have to suffer much, die, and then rise. Elsewhere he affirms explicitly: "I lay down my life, that I may take it again. . . I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again." "We believe that Jesus died and rose again."

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome again to the Daily Gospel Exegesis podcast created by the Logical Bible Study Ministry. Thanks for listening. As always, our goal in this podcast is to help you
0:22.2	understand the literal sense of scripture from a Catholic perspective. And our reading for today
0:28.0	is Mark chapter 9 verses 2 to 13. So here's the reading you would hear at today's Mass.
0:35.4	Jesus took with him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain
0:40.6	where they could be alone by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured. His clothes
0:48.4	became dazzlingly white, whiter than any earthly bleacher could make them. Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were walking with Jesus.
0:58.4	Then Peter spoke to Jesus.
1:01.3	Rabbi, he said, it is wonderful for us to be here.
1:05.0	So let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
1:11.2	He did not know what to say. They were for Elijah. He did not know what to say.
1:13.2	They were so frightened.
1:15.6	And a cloud came, covering them in shadow, and there came a voice from the cloud.
1:21.2	This is my son, the beloved.
1:24.0	Listen to him.
1:26.2	Then suddenly, when they looked around, they saw no one with them anymore but only Jesus.
1:33.4	As they came down from the mountain, he warned them to tell no one what they had seen,
1:38.3	until after the son of man had risen from the dead.
1:42.1	They observed the warning faithfully, though among themselves they discussed what rising from the dead. They observed the warning faithfully, though among themselves they
1:46.4	discussed what rising from the dead could mean. And they put this question to him. Why did the
1:53.7	scribes say that Elijah has to come first? True, he said, Elijah is to come first and to see that everything is as it should be.
2:03.9	Yet how is it that the scriptures say about the son of man that he is to suffer grievously and be treated with contempt?
2:12.1	However, I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have treated him as they pleased, just as the scriptures say about him.
