Luke 9:30 In-Context

28 Now it happened that about eight days after these words, he took along Peter and John and James [and] went up on the mountain to pray.

29 And as he was praying, the appearance of his face became different, and his clothing [became] white, gleaming like lightning.

30 And behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,

31 who appeared in glory [and] were speaking [about] his departure which he was about to fulfill in Jerusalem.

32 Now Peter and those with him were {very sleepy}, but [when they] became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who were standing with him.
