About this episode
This episode discusses the transfiguration of Jesus and the challenges faced by the apostles.
Out of the twelve apostles that Christ selected there are three with whom he had a closer relationship; those men are Peter, James, and John. Today, Jesus takes the three of them up a mountain to pray where he is transfigured before them. In other words, his glory is revealed through his humanity in a unique and tangible way, so that the disciples might bear witness to his divinity. When they descend the mountain to meet the other disciples, Christ finds the remaining disciples trying to cast out a demon, but they are unable to do so. Later, Jesus predicts his death for the second time in the gospel of Mark, answers a question about who is the greatest, and gives a hyperbole for those who go on sinning with the blessings God has given them.
