Matthew 17:2

We say the transfiguration took place not by the body’s human form being changed, but by a light-like glory wrapping it around. The body remained in its form, while the features were colored more gloriously by a light-like hue (Matthew 17:2).

Greek

Πεπρᾶχθαι δέ φαμεν τὴν μεταμόρφωσιν οὐχὶ δήπου τὸ σχῆμα τὸ ἀνθρώπινον μεταβαλόντος τοῦ σώματος, ἀλλὰ δόξης τινὸς φωτοειδοῦς περιστελλούσης αὐτό· μείναντος γὰρ τοῦ σώματος ἐπὶ τοῦ σχήματος ἐπὶ τὸ ἐνδοξότερον οἱ χαρακτῆρες διὰ φωτοειδοῦς χρώματος διεχρών νυντο.
