Matthew Poole and continuators on Matthew 17:2

2 And was transfigured before them, and his face did shine as the Sun, and his rayment was white as the light.

Both Mark and Luke have recorded this History. Mark 9.2, 3. Mark saith. His Rayment became shining exceeding white, as Snow, so as no Fuller on Earth can white them, Luke saith, Ch. 9.28. And it came to pass, about Eight Days after these sayings, he took Peter, and John, and James, and went up into a Mountain to pray. And as he prayed, the fashion of his Countenance was altered, and his Rayment was White, and Glistering. All three agree the place. Upon a Mountain, Matthew saith it was six, Luke saith eight Days a[illegible: 1 letter]ter the preceeding Discourses. Luke mentioneth our Lords praying, which neither of the other mentioneth, and saith his Transfiguration began whilst that he was praying. They all agree the Company that was with our Saviour. Peter, Iames and Iohn (which were the three our Saviour took with him, when he went to pray be[illegible: 1 letter]ore his Pa[illegible: 1 letter]sion, Matth. 26.37.) Peter was to be a great In[illegible: 2 letters]rument in carrying on the Works of the Gospel. Iames was he whom Herod killed, Acts 12.2. Iohn was he who outlived all the Apostles, he intended to have these three Witnesses of his Agony, Matth. 26.37. he prepareth them for that, and for the future Testimony they were to give him, by making them Eye Witnesses of this his Glorious Transfiguration. This as to his Person lay in the Change of his Countenance▪ looking gloriously as the Sun, and his Rayment looking extraordinarily white.
