Matthew 17:1

Taketh [π α ρ α λ α μ β α ν ε ι]. Rev. gives the force of the preposition para, taketh with him.

Apart [κ α τ ι δ ι α ν]. Not said of the mountain, as isolated, but of the disciples; so that they might be alone with him. Compare Mark 9:2, apart by themselves (kat ijdian monouv : lit., apart alone).
