C. K. Barrett's objection (Jesus and the Gospel Tradition, London, 1967, p. 85: ‘if Jesus solemnly affirmed that some at least of his hearers would survive his prediction by one week he was uttering ridiculous bathos’), which is quoted with approval in H. Anderson, The Gospel of Mark, London, 1976, p. 221, is surely beside the point; for, if Jesus did have his coming Transfiguration in mind, the significance of the saying would surely be, not that some present would survive for a period which proved to be only a week, but that some present would enjoy the far from unimportant privilege of seeing within the course of their ordinary natural life what others would see only at the final judgement. The vital question is whether or not the three disciples experienced in the Transfiguration something of transcendent importance.
