Read Mark 9.2-13 (Mt 17.1-8; Lk 9.28-36): The transfiguration.
Lacking resurrection appearances, Mark may intend the transfiguration to show Jesus' glorification.
In verse 9 one explanation for messianic secrecy: Jesus' mission cannot be understood apart from cross and resurrection.
In verse 13 Elijah was to herald the end of the age (see Mal 3.1; 4);
Jesus' comment cryptically refers to the Baptist (see also 1 Kings 19).
