Theophylact of Ohrid, on Luke 9:28
Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
Luke 9:28 · Douay-Rheims
“And it came to pass about eight days after these words, that he took Peter, and James, and John, and went up into a mountain to pray.”
On this verse:
“Or, He takes these with Him as men who were able to conceal this thing, and reveal it to no one else. But going up into a mountain to pray, He teaches us to pray solitary, and going up, into stooping to earthly things.”
