General Comments
Verses 1 to 5 are in two groups – 1 to 3 and then 4 to 5; they are practically identical, so that reading them together has a cumulative effect on us. Each is based on a tragic incident: Pilate murdering a group of Galileans as they were offering sacrifice in the temple, and a tower falling and killing eighteen people.

From What's APP: Small things kill most

Buffalos kill 7 people every year.
Lions kill 500 people every year
Hippos kill 800 people every year.
Spiders kill 5000 in people every year.
Scorpions kill 7000 people every year.
Snakes kill 10000 people every year.

An Amazing Story - Paderewski & Hoover

This is a fantastic story. Some of you may have read it before, but it is still relevant in today’s world where this kindness is repeated over
and over again in many forms, some of them very small. It’s the kindness that really matters and brings about results.



This is a true story that had happened in 1892 at Stanford University. It's moral is still relevant today.

A young, 18 year old student was struggling to pay his fees. He was
 an orphan, and not knowing where to turn for money, he came up with
 a bright idea. A friend and he decided to host a musical concert on
 campus to raise money for their education.

 They reached out to the great pianist Ignacy J. Paderewski. His
 manager demanded a guaranteed fee of $2,000 for the piano recital. A
 deal was struck. And the boys began to work to make the concert a
 success

 General Comments

Though we usually refer to this incident as the Transfiguration, Jesus’ appearing in glory was only the first stage of the experience the apostles had with him on the mountain. In your meditation then, feel free to enter the story at any stage, and even to remain with any part of the story that touches you, although you might also want to identify with the entire experience taken as a whole.
