Matthew 17:7

"When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid."

Key Reflection

The disciples' reaction of falling on their faces and being terrified underscores their profound sense of awe and humility in the presence of Jesus' divine glory. This episode highlights both their recognition of God's majesty and their own limitations, setting the stage for a deeper understanding of Christ’s role as both the Son of Man and the Son of God.
