and importance. And bringeth them
up into a high mountain apart by
themselves, Doubtless modern schol-
ars are right in thinking'that this
mountain was Mt. Hermon, near
Caesarea Philippi, more than 9,000
high, the loftiest summit in Palestine,
whose' snow -clad peak can be se

The transfiguration probably to
place on one of the ridges extendi
from this mountain. And he v
transfigured before thein. Luke 9:
tells us that the Saviour ascended
the mountain to • commune with his
Father in prayer and that he was
transfigured in the `act of prayer.
And his garments become glisten-
ing, exceeding white. "White as the
light," says Matthew. And his face
(mattliew) shone as the sun. So as
no fuller on earth can . whtien them.
The radiance of,supernatural beings
is often mentioned in the Bible, as
it is said of the angel who rolled
away the stone from Christ's tomb.
"His apeparance was as ,lightning,
and his raiment white as snow."
And there appeared 'unto .them Eli-
jah with Moses. Moses, the friend
of God, the greatest man of the Old
Testament, who talked with God face
to face; and Elijah,, the prophet of
fire. And' they were talking with Je-
sus. We learn from Luke 9:31 that
they were talking with Jesus about
his coming death in Jerusalem.
And Peter answereth and saith to
Jesus. Peter answered something
said but not recorded, or else he
merely answered the occasion. Luke'
9:32 admits that the three disciples
were 'heavy with sleep,' as they
were during Christ's agony in Geth-
semane, but they were startled and
"fully awake" when the Saviour's
glory burst forth, and they saw the
two men standing with him, catching
also the import of their conversation.
Rabbi, it is good for us to be here.
Peter said this (Luke) as.Moses and
Elijah were on the point of depart-
ing. And let us make three taber-
nacles. Three booths of leafy boughs,
such as were made at the feast of
tabernacles in Jerusalem. One for
thee, :and one for Moses, and one for
Elijah, lie kneiv who the two ce-
lestial visitors were—a proof, if any
were needed, of the permanence of
perseiiality• after death.
For he knew .not what to answer;
for they became sore afraid. Peter
was afraid and said the first thing
that came into his head.
And there came. Even while Pet-
er was making his foolish proposal
(Matthew). A cloud overshadowing
them. Not a Clark cloud, but a bright
one, as Matthew tells us. And. there
came a voice out of the cloud. As
at Christ's baptism, and a similar
voice was heard during Christ's last
'week before his crucifixion, when the
Greeks came to him in the temple
(John 12: 28-30). This is my belov-
ed Son; hear ye him. God's own
voice pointed' the conclusion to be
drawn from the marvellous scene
they had witnessed.
And suddenly looking round .about.
Matthew tells us that at the sound
of the heavenly voice the three . dis-
ciples fell on their faces in mortal'
terror; but Jesus came and touched
them with reassuring hands, bidding
them arise and

And when Jesus saw that a multi-
tude came' running together. The
Lord had' probably retired with : the
father and the boy to a distance from
the crowd, but the cries of both had
brought them running to the spot and
privacy became impossible. He re
buked the unclean spirit.. Our Lord's
wrath was' aroused at the sight of
the boy's suffering, caused by the
malignancy of the evil spirit, He is
forever at war with such spirits. Say-
ing unto hien, Thou dumb and..deaf
spirit, I command thee, Come out of
him, and enter no more into him.
Since the boy's affliction.was of a
kind which involved not. continuous
suffering, but periodical or recurrent
fits,_ the demon is not merely enjoin -
en ed to depart on the present occasion,
d. but is forbiddeh to return..
too And having cried out, and torn him
lig much, he came out. Demons do not
as readily leave any soul,+ and this devil
29 showed his power by causing a final
convulsion of marked severity. And
the boy became as one dead; inso-
much that the more part said, He is
dead. The final fit left the lad ut-
terly 'exhausted, seeming to many of
the spectators to have lost his life
in the struggle. But Jesus took him
by the hand. Thereby imparting his
own life-giving strength,' And raised
him up; and he arose. Matt. 17:18
tells us that the boy was cured from
that hour, and Luke 9,42 completes
the picture by showing us the Sav-
iour giving the restored lad back to
his father, an inestimable gift.
And when he was come into the
house. The house in which the dis-
ciples were lodging at the time. His
disciples asked him privately. For
they would not remind the crowd out-

we could not cast it out? They had

es in previous cases, and were cha-
