Mathew was written later than the earlier fables and apparently the author felt he needed to jazz the story up.

Matthew, Mark, and Luke, are 3 variations of the comparable source tale. Luke needless to say has some stable factors of a 2d tale. John, Is a seperate source altogether. The contradictions, the two between the memories, and between the memories and actuality, are actual defined. yet first, they are no longer the comparable events, advised from diverse perspectives. that's a hassle-free christian excuse for any contradiction interior the bible. There are some issues which, no remember what the view ingredient, all of the memories could agree upon. the main extreme events interior the story, the arrest, cruxifiction, and reserection, of Jesus. Christianity hinges on those events, in the event that they did no longer happen, then christianity is a lie. First, Jesus final words, on the go. What have been they? all of the apostles have been there, yet won't manage to agree on his final words? 2d, who became into first on the tomb, and what did they discover? I defy all people, christian or no longer, to take all of the events, from Jesus arrest, to his assention, and placed all of them mutually right into a single, chronologicaly precise, sequence.

Different in what way? They all have Jesus transfigured on the mountain, Moses and Elijah appearing, the disciples surprised, and a voice from heaven. Luke just adds a little more of Peter's reaction. No sure what you are seeing different in Matthew?
Are they word for the word the same? Of course not. They are told by three different people. But they agree on all the major details.

Matthew's account explains that this was a vision, and Moses and Elijah were not resurrected but were symbolic representations of the old covenant and the new covenant.
John 3:13 shows that no one had been resurrected prior to Christ,
Acts 2:34 shows that even David was still in the grave at this time.

I am not really aware of any material difference in Matthew's account of the transfiguration and that of the other gospels. Please enlighten me!!
OBTW I do not recall John mentioned the transfiugration.

Not. You need to remember that Matthew's account is written for the Jewish people & thus he will focus on specific angles of this Transfiguration.
Matthew's audience-Jews
Mark's- Romans
Luke's-Theophilus (Greek)
John's- Gentiles

Matthew tells his version with the Lord Jesus Christ being king.
Mark tells his version with the Lord Jesus Christ being a servant.
Luke tells his version with the Lord Jesus Christ being a man.
John tells his version with the Lord Jesus Christ being God.

Cause Peter said "Wow! Let's build tabernacles!" And Jesus said "Not necesssary, Jack."
