This work is linked to Luke 9:28

(눅 9:28)

○이 말씀을 하신 후 팔 일쯤 되어 예수께서 베드로와 요한과 야고보를 데리고 기도하시러 산에 올라가사

 

On the top of a mountain Jesus shows his divine, radiant self. The light is too bright for James, John and Peter, who fall to the ground. Two figures from the Old Testament appear: Moses and the prophet Elijah.

This metamorphosis or transfiguration is considered as one of miracles that Jesus performed.

This work is linked to Mark 9:2

(막 9:2)

○엿새 후에 예수께서 베드로와 야고보와 요한을 데리시고 따로 높은 산에 올라가셨더니 그들 앞에서 변형되사

 

Jesus had climbed a mountain called Tabor, together with his followers Peter, James and John. He there underwent a transfiguration: he became radiant. He also briefly spoke with Moses and the prophet Elijah (Elia). To impress Peter and the others even more, God spoke from a cloud: "This is my son, listen to him."

The lower half of the panel shows Jesus casting out an evil spirit from a boy, just after returning to his normal state. His disciples had failed at the same.

This panel is assumed to be Raphael's last painting. He died before completing it; it was finished by his student Giulio Romano.
