Mark 9:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ Then Elijah and Moses appeared to them, talking with Jesus. [^CGod had given the Law through Moses, and Elijah was an important prophet (see 6:1); together they signify that Jesus fulfills the OT.]

⁵ Peter said to Jesus, “·Teacher [^LRabbi], it is good that we are here. Let us make three ·tents [shelters; shrines; tabernacles; Lev. 23:42]—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” [^CPerhaps Peter wanted to prolong their stay or to commemorate their visit.] ⁶ Peter did not know what to say, because he and the others were so frightened.
