Week 18 - The Gospel of Mark

In this episode, David and Sophie linger on the mountain of Transfiguration, where Peter, James, and John glimpse Jesus unveiled in radiant glory. They reflect on what it must have been like to see him shining brighter than anything on earth, standing alongside Moses and Elijah, and how this vision confirmed yet also confused the disciples about his true identity. The conversation explores Peter’s instinct to build tents, the Father’s voice declaring Jesus as the Beloved Son, and the command to “listen to him” in light of their struggles to understand a suffering Messiah. They also wrestle with the disciples’ question about Elijah, how John the Baptist fulfilled that role, and how the vision revealed Jesus as greater than both the Law and the Prophets, pointing to the mystery of glory through suffering.
