Since Peter had revealed Christ's true identity and the disciples were beginning to understand, Christ chose to show a few of them His true self. In an amazing moment, that defies all of my attempts to imagine, Christ revealed Himself in full to Peter, James, and John. I'll be that it was like when Moses met God on the mountain.
So why didn't Christ take them all? Why didn't He show Himself to all of the disciples? Why only a few? And why were they commanded to not talk about it until after His resurrection?
It's about faith. As revealed in the next section, some of the disciples couldn't even drive out a demon because of their lack of faith. Obviously, there were still some among the disciples that weren't sure about who Jesus really was. There was some that weren't ready to meet His true self.
