And after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain apart,
All Commentaries on Matthew 17:1 Go To Matthew 17
Jerome
AD 420
Now it is asked how after six days he took them and led them separately onto a high mountain, whereas the Evangelist Luke established the number at eight. The answer is easy because in Matthew the days in the middle are counted, but in Luke the first and last are added. For Luke does not say after eight days Jesus took Peter and James and John but “now about eight days after.” .
