Just as Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter told Jesus, "Master, it's good that we're here! Let's set up three shelters one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." (Peter didn't know what he was saying.)

When he arrived at the man's house, he allowed no one to go in with him except Peter, John, James, and the young girl's father and mother.

Then the Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. And Peter remembered the word from the Lord, and how he had told him, "Before a rooster crows today, you will deny me three times."

He asked them, "But who do you say I am?" "God's Messiah," Peter replied.

Then they arrested him, led him away, and brought him to the high priest's house. But Peter was following at a distance.
