Matthew 17:1-8 Transfiguration on a mountain
1. Matthew 16:27
Matthew 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. [kjv]
2. Matthew 16:27
KJV: For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
Greek: μελλει γαρ ο υιος του ανθρωπου ερχεσθαι εν τη δοξη του πατρος αυτου μετα των αγγελων αυτου και τοτε αποδωσει εκαστω κατα την πραξιν αυτου
3. Matthew 17:1-8 Transfiguration on a mountain
Matthew 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. [kjv]
16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. [kjv]
17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, [kjv]
The transfiguration account in Matthew appears to cross chapter boundaries which were created in the Middle Ages. The actual transfiguration appears to have happened on Mount Nebo - with some interesting connections.
Jesus tends to so the "
verily I say unto you" (in this case plural) to tell the reader to connect the previous and following thoughts.
4. Chapter references
The chapter references were added in the Middle Ages, about a thousand years later. In Mark, there is no chapter separation between the "
shall not taste death" remark and the transfiguration. In Matthew there is. Some try to make deep theological points over the "
shall not taste death" remark in Matthew without continuing through the chapter break.
5. Matthew 16:28 Taste of death
Matthew 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. [kjv]
αμην λεγω υμιν οτι εισιν τινες των ωδε εστωτων οιτινες ου μη γευσωνται θανατου εως αν ιδωσιν τον υιον του ανθρωπου ερχομενον εν τη βασιλεια αυτου [gnt]
