Luke 9:18-27. THE CONFESSION OF PETER , etc. See on Matthew 16:13-28; Mark 8:27-38. This account agrees closely with the others, although briefer.

As he was praying alone (Luke 9:18). Peculiar to Luke. The prayer was a preparation for the revelation. The disciples joined Him, and ‘in the way' (Mark) the conversation took place.

When he cometh, etc. (Luke 9:26). Luke's account is fullest in this clause. Meyer: ‘The glory is threefold: (1.) His own, which He has of and for Himself as the exalted Messiah; (2.) the glory of God, which accompanies Him as coming down from God's throne; (3.) the glory of the angels, who surround Him with their brightness.'
