Contextual Overview

¹And He said to them, "Truly I say to you that there are certain of those standing here, who may not taste of death until they see the Kingdom of God having come in power." ²And after six days Jesus takes Peter, and James, and John, and brings them up to a high mountain by themselves, alone, and He was transfigured before them, ³and His garments became glittering, exceedingly white, as snow, so as a launderer on the earth is not able to whiten [them]. ⁴And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. ⁵And Peter answering says to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three shelters, for You one, and for Moses one, and for Elijah one":⁶for he was not knowing what he might say, for they were greatly afraid. ⁷And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, "This is My Son, the Beloved, hear Him"; ⁸and suddenly, having looked around, they saw no one anymore, but Jesus only with themselves. ⁹And as they are coming down from the mountain, He charged them that they may declare to no one the things that they saw, except when the Son of Man may rise out of the dead; ¹⁰and the thing they kept to themselves, questioning together what the rising out of the dead is.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Peter answered and said to Jesus,.... He addressed himself to him, as being more familiar with him; as also because he was the principal person: wherefore he says,

master, it is good for us to be here: the company and conversation were exceeding agreeable to him and his fellow disciples; and the glory that Christ appeared in surpassed every thing they had seen before:

and let us make three tabernacles; or, as the Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions read, "and we will make", c. expressing not a petition, but a resolution to which the Persic version premises, "if thou wilt give us commandment"; submitting it to the will of Christ:

one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias;
