Commentary
If you wish…
Peter says to Jesus, “If you
wish.” But it is Peter who wishes to
stay on the mountain forever. Peter wants to stop in that glorious moment.
Jesus, on the contrary, is on
his way to Jerusalem where the cross is waiting for him. He would not stop there, in that glorious moment.
Jesus’ “if you
wish” is to fulfill the
Father’s will.
Jesus’ true glory comes only
when he “has been raised from the dead” by the Father. And that glory only comes after he has
fulfilled the Father’s will with his death on the cross.
