Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." (He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.) Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud: "This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!"
Mark 9:5-7
As it says, Peter didn't know what to say. He made the mistake of equating Jesus with Moses and Elijah. But God quickly made clear that Jesus is all together different - he is God's son. He is the one to listen to!
Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"
Mark 9:24 NIV
I love this statement! It expresses honesty, humility and faith ay the same time. It is one that is a prayer for me!
