Why did Jesus take just Peter, James and John with Him to witness his transfiguration?

I look at this in the context of 'Leadership' and 'Vulnerability". In terms of Leadership, the three had the biggest potential. Peter was the most dynamic. James and John though brothers, were sons of thunder-literally meaning they were powerful orators, besides, James was the eldest in that group of 12 in terms of age. The three, being not just disciples, but close friends, were being groomed for top leadership. Being vulnerable by their character, they needed to get the facts straight, about Jesus being the son of God, or in the same cause with Moses and Elijah. This was a formideable opportunity to look at Jesus,(new testament) as the fulfilment of the Law (Moses) and the Prophets, (Elijah). Vulnerable leaders could easily abandon the ministry, unless they are rooted, and Jesus had this in his will, purpose and vision. He knew his trial and death would be a difficult time ahead for vthose disciples, and hec was preparing them to know there was ressurrection in him, after death.

How did the woman`s words and action show her faith?

The measure of Faith: Her words revealed that she recognised the Messianic Lordship of Jesus Christ, ie by referring to him as - Son of David. The desire of her heart was to receive the blessing of healing, even thou she was an outsider. Her determination was the demonstration of her faith. Faith is measurable and visible, by our words which we confess, and by our actions.

At the end of the world, how will the angels tell the wicked from the righteous?

Judgement will be only to simple. As a shepherd seperates the sheep from the goats. The righteous are marked by the blood of Jesus, and they shine with the glory of the Lord, and they have the Holy spirit. The Wicked ARE ALSO MARKED WITH 666. They are covered by darkness and keep crying in self defense - grumbling. They totally lack peace. Even in this present age, any child of God could tell the Wicked, but we are not allowed to judge, but to preach to them so that they are also saved.
