Fasting & Praying GuideПримерок

There are only three characters in the Bible who are said to have fasted for forty days: Moses (Exod. 34:28), Elijah (1 Kings 19:8), and Jesus (Matt. 4:2). It should strike us as no coincidence, then, that these very three show up at the time when Jesus is transfigured before His disciples (Matt. 17:1–3). Only this time, the glory of God is clearly shown forth in Jesus Himself.
