Luke 9:28

Now ¹  about eight days ²  after these sayings, Jesus ³  took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up the 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.

Some eight days after these sayings, He took along Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.

About eight days later Jesus took Peter, James, and John to a mountain to pray.

About eight days after saying this, he climbed the mountain to pray, taking Peter, John, and James along.

And about eight days after he had said these things, he took Peter and John and James with him and went up into the mountain for prayer.

Now about eight days after these sayings Jesus took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.

Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray.

Now ¹  about eight days ²  after these sayings, Jesus ³  took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up the mountain to pray.

¹ tn Grk “Now it happened that about.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

² tn Matt 17:1 and Mark 9:2 specify the interval more exactly, saying it was the sixth day. Luke uses ὡσεί (Jwsei, “about”) to give an approximate reference.

³ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
