Jesus may have been concerned that news of the Transfiguration would be misunderstood as the beginning of the Messianic Kingdom (as did Peter) His followers might then attempt to enthrone Him before He went up to Jerusalem to die for their sins. Not until after His death, burial and resurrection were the disciples to reveal their experience on the mountain. The resurrection would reinforce what the Transfiguration declared; that Jesus is the Son of God, the Messiah.
