Luke 9:30 In-Context

28 It was about eight days after this that Jesus, taking with Him Peter, John, and James, went up the mountain to pray.

29 And while He was praying the appearance of His face underwent a change, and His clothing became white and radiant.

30 And suddenly there were two men conversing with Him, who were Moses and Elijah.

31 They came in glory, and kept speaking about His death, which He was so soon to undergo in Jerusalem.

32 Now Peter and the others were weighed down with sleep; but, keeping themselves awake all through, they saw His glory, and the two men standing with Him.
