THE TRANSFIGURATION – 20
This suggests the very natural inquiry: How long was this scene of the transfiguration in taking place; that is, as we compute time? All that can be said is, that our conceptions of time have no value at all. Whether it consumed an hour or a month, the main point to know is, that it sufficed to work a complete change in their consciousness; that it sufficed to prepare them, as it did their Master, for the stirring events and severe trials which, according to mortal sense, they were soon to encounter, so that, in spite of the ordeal of the crucifixion, they did not become permanently separated from their Master.
