Peter "Wow, this is fab, lets make tents!"
Jesus "No need, we're not staying here. There's work to be done down in the valleys, then off to another mountain - where there will be two criminals for company instead of Moses and Elijah, where the transfiguration will be not to glorious transcendent light, but to a subhuman, shamed and bloodied pulp ... Pick up your cross and follow me..."
"But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen." 1 Peter 5: 10-11
