Anchor Text: Psalm 2 — You Are My Son

Significance: This second divine voice adds "listen to him" (Deuteronomy 18:15), identifying Jesus as the prophet like Moses whom Israel must heed on pain of judgment. This validates Jesus' shocking teaching about necessary suffering that Peter just rebuked (8:32-33). The transfiguration setting evokes Sinai (mountain, cloud, divine voice, glory), yet Jesus surpasses Moses by radiating glory from within. The presence of Moses and Elijah establishes continuity with Law and Prophets while demonstrating Jesus transcends both as the definitive interpreter of Torah and Prophets, embodying the messianic servant-prophet whose words carry ultimate divine authority.
