THE TRANSFIGURATION – 5
Beginning our exposition at this point, let it be noticed that Jesus withdrew apart into a high mountain. What mountain was it ? What useless attempts have been made to ascertain upon which particular mountain peak the Master was transfigured! The lofty, snow-capped Hermon, far to the north of the sea of Galilee, has been deemed by many to be the place where it occurred. Others again, reflecting that Jesus seldom went so far away from the abodes of men, have thought it very probable that it took place on Mount Tabor, which was in close proximity to the scenes of most of Jesus’ sayings and doings.
