He was transfigured. Homily for the 2nd Sunday of Lent, Year A

On this second Sunday of Lent Jesus takes Peter, James and John up a high mountain, and there, in their presence, he was transfigured. Matthew's gospel continues to develop the theme of Jesus, a new and greater Moses, leading a new and greater Exodus.
