who appeared in splendor and were speaking of His departure which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. Now Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep, but all at once they became wide awake and saw His splendor and the two men who were standing with Him.

Let us put up three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah" -- although he did not know what he was saying.
