A striking feature of the Gospels in how faithfully the inspired authors set down what Christ said and did, whether they understood it or not. The bewilderment of the Apostles to the Transfiguration I fully share in. For a moment Christ dropped the flesh he was veiled in and stood revealed as the great I Am, the Second Person of the Trinity, and Peter, James and John reacted with sheer terror. Our intellects, made dark here below by sin, cannot grasp such a thing, so Christ was perceived as a blinding white light. No passage in the Gospels better illustrates the infinite gulf between Man and the God who made us.
