Matthew 17:1-8 Transfiguration on a mountain
by RS  admin@creationpie.com : 1024 x 640


1. Matthew 17:1-8 Transfiguration on a mountain
Verse routeMatthew 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]
Verse routeαμην 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]
Verse route17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, [kjv]
Verse routeκαι μεθ ημερας εξ παραλαμβανει ο ιησους τον πετρον και ιακωβον και ιωαννην τον αδελφον αυτου και αναφερει αυτους εις ορος υψηλον κατ ιδιαν [gnt]

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.

2. 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.
