Note 1 topic: writing-newevent
καὶ μεθ’ ἡμέρας ἓξ
and after days six
Here, the phrase And after six days introduces the next major event in the story. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event. Alternate translation: “Then, after six days had passed,” or “Six days after those things happened,”
Note 2 topic: translate-tense
παραλαμβάνει & ἀναφέρει αὐτοὺς
/is/_taking & ˱he˲_/is/_bringing_up them
To call attention to a development in the story, Matthew uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: “took along … brought them up”
Note 3 topic: translate-kinship
τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ
¬the the brother ˱of˲_him
Matthew never says whether James or John was older, but he mentions James first, which could imply that he was the older brother. If you have to use a form that refers to an older or younger brother, you could state that John was younger. Alternate translation: “his younger brother”
17:1 Peter . . . James and John later accompanied Jesus at Gethsemane (26:37; 2 Pet 1:16-19).
• It is impossible to determine the exact location of this high mountain. The traditional site, Mount Tabor, is only about 1,900 feet (580 meters) high and is out of the way for a trip from Caesarea Philippi (Matt 16:13) to Capernaum (17:24). Mount Hermon, another possibility, is about 9,200 feet (2,800 meters) high and located in Syria, forty miles north of Capernaum. It is unlikely, however, that “teachers of religious law” (Mark 9:14) would have congregated at the foot of a mountain in Gentile territory. A strong candidate is Mount Meron, about 4,000 feet (1,220 meters) high and situated between Caesarea Philippi and Capernaum.
