rwp@Mark:9:2 @{By themselves} (\monous\). Alone. This word only in Mark. See on ¯Matthew:17:1-8| for discussion of the Transfiguration. strkjv@Luke:9:28| adds "to pray" as the motive of Jesus in taking Peter, James, and John into the high mountain.

rwp@Matthew:17:1 @{After six days} (\meth' hmers hex\). This could be on the sixth day, but as Luke (Luke:9:28|) puts it "about eight days" one naturally thinks of a week as the probable time, though it is not important. {Taketh with him} (\paralambanei\). Literally, {takes along}. Note historical present. These three disciples form an inner group who have shown more understanding of Jesus. Songs:at Gethsemane. {Apart} (\kat' idian\) means "by themselves" ({alone}, \monous\, Mark has it) up (\anapherei\) into a high mountain, probably Mount Hermon again, though we do not really know. "The Mount of Transfiguration does not concern geography" (Holtzmann).
