The eleven reflective disciples in this week’s Gospel, Matthew 28:16-20, were directed to meet Jesus in Galilee on the mountain top ‘…to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them’. This directive to ascend the mountain must have stirred memories within Peter, James, and John. These three disciples had previously accompanied Jesus to another mountain top, where they experienced the awe-inspiring moment of the Transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-8).
