Matthew 13:6

Context
13:6 But when the sun came up, they were scorched, and because they did not have sufficient root, they withered.

Matthew 17:2

Context
17:2 And he was transfigured before them.¹ His² face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light.

¹sn In 1st century Judaism and in the NT, there was the belief that the righteous get new, glorified bodies in order to enter heaven (1 Cor 15:42-49; 2 Cor 5:1-10). This transformation means the righteous will share the glory of God. One recalls the way Moses shared the Lord’s glory after his visit to the mountain in Exod 34. So the disciples saw Jesus transfigured, and they were getting a sneak preview of the great glory that Jesus would have (only his glory is more inherent to him as one who shares in the rule of the kingdom).

²tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
