Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Location of the Transfiguration!. Just before the transfiguration, Jesus and his disciples were in the region of Caesarea Philippi, the present-day village of Banyas!. (Mr 8:27) It is unlikely that Christ and the apostles departed from this vicinity or region when going to the “lofty mountain!.” (Mr 9:2) Mount Tabor has been viewed as the traditional site from about the fourth century?C!.E!., but lying about 70 km (40 mi) SSW of Caesarea Philippi, it seems an improbable location!.—See TABOR No!. 1!.

Mount Hermon, on the other hand, is only about 25 km (15 mi) NE of Caesarea Philippi!. It rises to a height of 2,814 m (9,232 ft) above sea level and would therefore be “a lofty mountain!.” (Mt 17:1) Hence, the transfiguration may have taken place on some spur of Mount Hermon!. This is the view of many modern scholars, though the Bible’s silence on the matter leaves the exact location uncertain!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
