Commentary on Matthew 17:1
Jesus taking 'Peter, James, and John' to 'an high mountain apart' selects an inner circle to witness His transfiguration. The 'high mountain' (traditionally Mount Tabor or Hermon) provides isolation for this revelatory event. 'After six days' (from Peter's confession, 16:16) links the transfiguration to Jesus' passion prediction—showing glory before suffering. The three disciples represent witnesses who would later testify to Jesus' divine glory (2 Peter 1:16-18).
