Mk 9:2d ... And he was transfigured before them.

The seventh phrase has these 4 narrator words, ... Kai metemorfōthē emprosthen autōn (And he was metamorphized before them).

The 4 narrator words are bottom up. The verb metamorfoo means "to change into another form, to transform, to transfigure." The diagram shows an image of Jesus as a future Dove-like Spirit who exists in heaven clothed in a white rhombus. He has a face transfigured as a very young man who hasn't grown a beard yet, a glorified youth ready to replace the older, full grown, human Jesus who hasn't yet died. This transfigured Jesus seems to have temporarily replaced the Jesus who took them up into the mountain.
