Transfiguration, The: Of Our Lord on a "high mountain apart," is described by each of the
three evangelists
(Matthew 17:1-8; Mark 9:2-8; Luke 9:28-36) The fullest
account is given by Luke, who, no doubt, was informed by Peter, who was
present on the occasion. What these evangelists record was an absolute
historical reality, and not a mere vision. The concurrence between them
in all the circumstances of the incident is exact. John seems to allude
to it also
(John 1:14) Forty years after the event Peter distinctly
makes mention of it
(2 Peter 1:16-18) In describing the sanctification
of believers, Paul also seems to allude to this majestic and glorious
appearance of our Lord on the "holy mount"
(Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 3:18) The
place of the transfiguration was probably Mount Hermon (q.v.), and not
Mount Tabor, as is commonly supposed.
