Rick...
As much as the sacrificial connotations may abound. . . the rest of the
passage cannot bear out this to be the meaning of ANAFEREIN....since in
v.14 they actually return back down from the mountain.

Louw & Nida offer an alternative
15:176-- of to bring up, or lead up.

I don't think that this "transfiguration" experience would be considered
a sacrifice in any sense that can be drawn from the passage. You have
the trappings...but then you don't have the answer to what was
sacrificed...

**sorry if this is too elementary.**
