Jesus goes up a mountain and is transfigured. In Jerusalem, following his his arrest, his torture, the Roman soldiers lead Jesus up the Hill Of Golgotha. Moses and Elijah appear with Jesus in his transfiguration. As Jesus hung dying on the cross, there was a criminal on his left and on his right. On that mountain, Jesus' face shone and his clothes became shining white. On the cross, he was stripped naked. On that mountain, the voice from the cloud said, this is my beloved son with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him. And when Jesus had breathed his last and died on that cross, it was a Roman soldier who said, truly, this was the son of God.
