Transfiguration (pt. 5)
In today’s lesson, we explore the literary progression found in the Gospel of Mark that concerns “seeing” and “hearing” as the disciples ascend on their journey toward the Transfiguration.
The rabbis taught that the kingdom of God comes through “seeing” and “hearing.” Through the prophet Isaiah, God chastises Israel for having “eyes” but not being able to see and having “ears” but the inability to hear. This is the same question Jesus is going to ask the disciples after the Feeding of the 4000 (Mark 8:18). The progression in Mark shows us the opening of ears and eyes that prepares the disciples for the Transfiguration event. At the Transfiguration event, the disciple’s eyes and ears are opened, allowing them to see into the mystical and observe Jesus' true nature.
