See Figs in the Bible for the New Testament's treatment of figs. The argument that Matthew was the writer's source is that the Apocalypse of Peter shows correspondences with the Matthean text that do not appear in the parallel passages in the synoptic gospels of Mark and Luke.

Beck 2019, pp. 94–95, 100–102 argues these parallels to the transfiguration were later additions to the Ethiopic version, and the account is best understood as an ascension narrative; while Lapham 2004, pp. 201–205 argues that the Ethiopic compiler has conflated the transfiguration and ascension together, but is mostly a transfiguration narrative.
