009:031 who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure,{literally,
"exodus"} which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
009:032 Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep,
but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory,
and the two men who stood with him.
009:033 It happened, as they were parting from him, that Peter
said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here.
Let's make three tents: one for you, and one for Moses,
and one for Elijah," not knowing what he said.
009:034 While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them,
and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
009:035 A voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son.
Listen to him!"
009:036 When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent,
and told no one in those days any of the things which
they had seen.
009:037 It happened on the next day, when they had come down from
the mountain, that a great multitude met him.
009:038 Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, "Teacher, I beg
you to look at my son, for he is my only child.

009:047 Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child,
