Watch and pray! 
Mat 26:41: Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

In other words, the transformation occurred while He prayed. This information is important because it lets us know that in the place of prayer, the transformation or change of which Paul speaks of in 2 Cor.3:18 happens.
