2 The Sunday Readings First Reading Genesis 22:1-2,9a,10-13,15-18 Abraham obeyed God and prepared to offer his son, Isaac, as a sacrifice. Responsorial Psalm Psalm 116:10,15,16-17,18-19 A prayer of faithfulness to God Second Reading Romans 8:31b-34 God s faithfulness is shown in his offering of his own Son for our salvation. Gospel Reading Mark 9:2-10 Jesus is transfigured in the presence of Peter, James, and John. Background on the Gospel Reading On the second Sunday of Lent in each Lectionary cycle, the Gospel reading proclaims the story of Jesus Transfiguration. This event is reported in each of the Synoptic Gospels Matthew, Mark, and Luke. This year, in Lectionary Cycle B, we hear Mark s report of this event. The context for Mark s Transfiguration story is similar to that found in both Matthew s and Luke s Gospel. The Transfiguration occurs after Peter s confession that Jesus is the Messiah and Jesus prediction about his passion. After this, in each of these Gospels, there is also a discussion of the cost of discipleship. In each case, Jesus takes three of his disciples Peter, James, and John to a high mountain. While they are there, Elijah and Moses appear with Jesus. In Matthew s and Mark s Gospel, there is reference to a conversation among Jesus, Elijah, and Moses, but only Luke s Gospel includes the detail that this conversation is about what Jesus will accomplish in Jerusalem. Elijah and Moses are significant figures in the history of Israel. Moses led the Israelites from slavery in Egypt and received from Yahweh the Ten Commandments. In appearing with Jesus at his Transfiguration, Moses represents the Law that guides the lives of the Jewish people. Elijah is remembered as one of the most important prophets of Israel who helped the Israelites stay faithful to Yahweh. Some Jews believed that Elijah s return would signal the coming of the Messiah for the Jewish people. This belief is evidenced in the question posed by Jesus disciples after they have witnessed the Transfiguration. The appearance of these two important figures from Israel s history with Jesus signifies Jesus continuity with the Law and with the prophets and that Jesus is the fulfillment of all that was promised to the people of Israel. On seeing Jesus with Elijah and Moses and having witnessed his Transfiguration, Peter offers to construct three tents for them. Mark reports that the disciples are terrified by what they have witnessed and that Peter s offer is made out of confusion. We also notice that Peter has reverted from his earlier confession that Jesus is the Messiah, calling Jesus rabbi instead. As if in reply to Peter s confusion, a voice from heaven speaks, affirming Jesus as God's Son and commanding the disciples to obey him. This voice from heaven recalls the voice that was heard at Jesus baptism. In his Transfiguration, we see an anticipation of the glory of Jesus Resurrection. In each of the reports of the Transfiguration, Jesus instructs the disciples to keep secret what they have seen until after the Son of Man has risen from the dead. The disciples confusion continues as they wonder what Jesus means by rising from the dead. The disciples cannot possibly understand Jesus Transfiguration until they also witness his passion and death. We hear the story of Jesus Transfiguration early in Lent, but we have the benefit of hindsight. In our hearing of it, we anticipate Jesus Resurrection, even as we prepare to remember Jesus passion and death.
