Luke 9:33 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 9:33

31 who appeared in glory and spoke of His¹ decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

32 But Peter and those with him ^awere heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who stood with Him.

33 Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three¹ tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he said.

34 While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were fearful as they entered the ^acloud.

35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, ^a“This is My beloved Son. ^bHear Him!”

36 When the voice had ceased, Jesus was found alone. ^aBut they kept quiet, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.

37 ^aNow it happened on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a great multitude met Him.
