'Resplendent' in the Bible

Six days later, Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. And He was transfigured (changed in form) before them [and began to shine brightly with divine and regal glory];

For, in fact, that which was once resplendent in glory has no glory at all in this respect, that it pales before the glory which surpasses it.
