Matthew 17:2

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

There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light.

And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light.

As the men watched, Jesus’ appearance changed so that his face shone like the sun, and his clothing became dazzling white.

His appearance changed from the inside out, right before their eyes. Sunlight poured from his face. His clothes were filled with light.

And he was changed in form before them; and his face was shining like the sun, and his clothing became white as light.

And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became dazzling white.

and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.

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

¹ sn 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).
