Matt. 17:2-4.) THE TRANSFIGURATION. 173 Tabor. An earlier tradition places it on the Mount of Olives, near Jerusa-lem. Neither tradition is of much value. The historical evidences arestrongly against both. Little solitude could have been found on either atthat time, as both had buildings—Tabor a fortress and stronghold.

Three witnesses were all the law required to certify to any fact,Deut. 17 : 6, a
