Peter suggested building three booths on the site of the Transfiguration to make their wonderful experience of Jesus' glory exclusively theirs. Peter, along with James and John, had just witnessed Jesus' transfiguration where His appearance was transformed into a glorious and radiant state, and Moses and Elijah had appeared beside Him. Peter wanted to build three shelters or booths, one for each of them, so they could stay on the mountain and keep the experience to themselves. However, this suggestion was not in line with God's plan, which was to reveal Jesus' glory to all people, and so Peter was corrected by a voice from heaven.
