<p>9:32 <i>Now Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him</i>- &ldquo;Saw his glory&rdquo; is absolutely the language of Moses and the Old Testament heroes seeing Divine glory in theophanies, and like the disciples, hearing God&rsquo;s voice (Ex. 33:18 Heb. &ndash; &ldquo;shew&rdquo; is the same word translated &lsquo;to see&rsquo;&rsquo;; Isaiah- Jn. 12:41; Ezekiel- Ez. 1:28). Yet again the Lord was seeking to show those secular men that they were called to work on the level of Moses and the prophets in the new Israel which the Lord Jesus was creating out of manual labourers, prostitutes, tax collectors, swindlers and sinners.</p><p>The disciples&rsquo; eyes were heavy in Gethsemane and they fell asleep at the critical moment. But earlier, &ldquo;having remained awake&rdquo;, the same disciples were blessed with a vision of the Lord&rsquo;s glory (Lk. 9:32 RVmg.). If they had remained awake in the garden, they would have seen the Lord being glorified by Angelic visitation. But they didn't perceive how the circumstances were repeating, and thus didn&rsquo;t find the strength and inspiration which was potentially prepared for them through the similarity of circumstance.&nbsp;</p>
