This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Luk 9:32. Σὺν αὐτῷ, with him) By this formula Peter is given the precedency over James and John.-ὕπνῳ, with sleep) Comp. Gen 2:21. [By the mediation of that sleep an oblivion of all earthly thoughts and images whatever took possession of them.-V. g.]-διαγρηγορήσαντες) when they had recovered themselves from sleep. [By the sleep they were now become more alert.-V. g.] It is probable that it was night: Luk 9:37 [“the next day”] seems to imply this.-εἶδον τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ, they saw His glory) Peter, who was present at the scene, has described it in the same words, 2Pe 1:16-17 : so also Joh 1:14.
