Transfiguration

The mystical experience of the Transfiguration would have been an affirmation for the Apostles. Jesus has been challanged by the religious authorities. What are the Apsotles to do? Do they go angainst their religious training and follow Jesus? Do they remain faithful and follow the Scribes and Pharisees? The appearance with Moses and Elijah would confirm for them that Jesus is the correct way to go to be truly faithful to their religious upbringing.
