Matthew 17:1 - Additional Comments

This mountain may be Mount Hermon in the area mentioned in chapter 16, Caesarea Philippi. But, perhaps this mountain was too far from there. Other possibilities are Mount Tabor in central Galilee, and Mount Meron, near the NW corner of the Sea of Galilee.
This incident is also found in Luke 9:28-36 and Mark 9:2-8 (see notes on Mark 9:2).
