“And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.”
About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray — Luke's eight days (versus Mark's six days) may account for the partial days at beginning and end. The mountain to pray is Luke's characteristic setting for major divine encounters — Jesus goes up to pray, and the prayer is the context for the theophany.
