How Do Elders of the Church Shepherd God’s People through Difficulties?
Chris Swanson




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" 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;
(See Gill on Matthew 17:4).
