Context of Mark 9:4

2And after six days Jesus takes with [him] Peter and James and John, and takes them up on a high mountain by themselves apart. And he was transfigured before them: 3and his garments became shining, exceeding white [as snow], such as fuller on earth could not whiten [them]. And there appeared to them Elias with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5And Peter answering says to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good that we should be here; and let us make three tabernacles, for thee one, and for Moses one, and for Elias one. 6For he knew not what he should say, for they were filled with fear.
