Luke 8:51 shows Jesus taking the same three disciples (Peter, John, James) to raise Jairus's daughter—a pattern of special intimacy echoed at the Transfiguration.

Matthew 17:1-13 is the parallel Synoptic account of the Transfiguration, adding details like Moses and Elijah discussing Jesus' departure.

Mark 9:2-13 is another Synoptic account of the Transfiguration, providing a slightly different perspective on the same event.

In Mark 14:33-36, Jesus again takes Peter, James, and John aside—this time in Gethsemane. Same inner circle at pivotal moments.

In 2 Peter 1:16, Peter directly references this transfiguration event as an eyewitness of Christ's majesty, confirming its authenticity.

Matthew 26:37 records Jesus again taking Peter, James, and John with him in Gethsemane—another instance of this inner circle appearing at key moments.
