Luke 9:33 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 9:33

And it came to pass, as they departed from him
That is, as Moses and Elias departed from Christ; or "when they began to depart", as the Syriac version renders it; or "would depart", as the Arabic and Persic versions; seemed desirous of going, or made some signal or other by which the disciples perceived they were about to go; for, as yet, they were not gone;

Peter said unto Jesus, master, it is good for us to be here, let us
make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for
Elias; (See Gill on Matthew 17:4)

not knowing what he said,
nor "what to say", as Mark observes, being in a surprise, and not in a situation to consider and weigh things well, whether what he said was right and proper, or not; (See Gill on Matthew 17:4)

33 et factum est cum discederent ab illo ait Petrus ad Iesum praeceptor bonum est nos hic esse et faciamus tria tabernacula unum tibi et unum Mosi et unum Heliae nesciens quid diceret

34 haec autem illo loquente facta est nubes et obumbravit eos et timuerunt intrantibus illis in nubem

35 et vox facta est de nube dicens hic est Filius meus electus ipsum audite
