As Peter saw Chris transfigured and saw (engaged with?) Moses and Elijah he suggested tents be built (I assume to prolong the experience). Luke paints Peter the fool for saying this when he adds "...—not knowing what he said."
What do you think was so unbecoming of this suggestion/statement?
Luke 9:33-35
[33] And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he said. [34] As he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. [35] And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him!” (ESV)
