The teaching by the
Master is accomplished in a variety of ways, such as:
By experience
Matthew 17:1-9
1 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John
the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.
2 There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like
the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light.
3 Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah,
talking with Jesus.
4 Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here.
If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one
for Elijah.”
5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them,
and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am
well pleased. Listen to him!”
6 When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the
ground, terrified.
7 But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don't
be afraid.”
8 When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.
9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed
them, “Don't tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been
raised from the dead.”
By response with questions
Matthew 17:10-13
10 The disciples asked him, “Why then do the teachers of the
law say that Elijah must come first?”
11 Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore
all things.
12 But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not
recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the
Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.”
13 Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them
about John the Baptist.
