Matt. 16:21–17:27 The Suffering of the Messiah Revealed. Jesus reveals the nature of his messiahship. He is a suffering Messiah, and those who are his disciples must suffer with him (16:21–28). Still, the transfiguration (17:1–13) discloses who Jesus really is: the Son of God. And believers, who are themselves sons of the kingdom, are free from the old era of the law (17:14–27).
Matt. 17:1–13 The Beloved, Transfigured Son. Jesus reveals his divine glory in the transfiguration (vv. 1–8) and explains how John the Baptist's ministry fulfills the prophecy of Elijah's return (vv. 9–13).
Matt. 17:10–13 Elijah has already come. See notes on Mal. 4:4–6 and Matt. 11:14. Jesus indicates that the ministry of John the Baptist fulfilled Malachi's prophecy.
