NKJV 365 Day Reading Planਨਮੂਨਾ

The Transfiguration took place within a week of Christ’s prediction that He would die. The three disciples included were the ones He allowed to witness the raising of Jairus’ daughter (Mark 5:37); they later would accompany Him to the Garden of Gethsemane (Mark 14:33). Though tradition long held this “high mountain” to be Mt. Tabor, there is no record that Jesus was near Mt. Tabor at this time. Also, archaeological excavations discovered here a fortified city dating to this time, which would have made it difficult for them to have been in seclusion. Mt. Hermon seems a more likely place. Three events took place: Jesus’ body was transfigured (v. 2); Moses, the giver of the Law and deliverer from bondage in Egypt, and Elijah, the forerunner of John the Baptist and representative of the prophets in the OT, appeared (v. 3); and God spoke from a cloud (v. 5).
