What caused the appearance of the disciples to become as white as the countenance and garments of Jesus?

Thomas R. Valletta

“The Holy Ghost performs two of his functions in these passages: he fills those praying with catalytic desire, and he burns out impurities and cleanses them. In this process the disciples were transfigured, being empowered to endure the presence of heavenly elements and beings without being wholly consumed. (D&C 76:118.)” (Thomas, “Theophany,” 180).
