{After six days} (meth' h(886d)er(8373) hex). This could be on the
sixth day, but as Luke ( Lu 9:28 ) puts it "about eight days" one
naturally thinks of a week as the probable time, though it is not
important. {Taketh with him} (paralambanei). Literally, {takes
along}. Note historical present. These three disciples form an
inner group who have shown more understanding of Jesus. So at
Gethsemane. {Apart} (kat' idian) means "by themselves"
({alone}, monous, Mark has it) up (anapherei) into a high
mountain, probably Mount Hermon again, though we do not really
know. "The Mount of Transfiguration does not concern geography"
(Holtzmann).
