And Peter answering, said to : Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moyses, and one for Elias. For he knew not what he said; for they were frighted with feare: And there was a cloud overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my Sonne most deare: heare ye him. And immediatly looking about, they saw no man any more but only with them. And as they descended from the mountaine, he commanded them that they should not tel any man what Rh
