31. who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

32. Now Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

33. And it came to pass, as they were parting from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: not knowing what he said.

34. And while he said these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

35. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my Son, my chosen: hear ye him.

37. And it came to pass, on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
