And my Lord Jesus Christ, our King, said to me, "Let us go to the holy mountain." And his disciples went with him praying.
And behold there were two men there, and we could not look upon their faces, for a light came from them, shining more than the sun and their raiment also was shining and cannot be described and nothing is sufficient to be compared to them in this world.  And the sweetness of them...that no mouth is able to utter the beauty of their appearance, for their aspect was astonishing and wonderful.


It is reasonable certain that this scripture was not actually written by St. Peter, but that doesn't change the truth found in it.  The spiritual beings, Light beings, that appeared to Jesus and were seen by the disciples that accompanied him are well described here.  This gives you some idea why I refer to them as Light beings.  Later, in this document Jesus tells Peter they were Moses and Elijah, two great prophets, now physically dead, but very much alive in the spiritual world and still working to enlighten and save others, which is why they appeared to Jesus on more than one occasion.  I particularly like in this passage the indication that it is difficult, if not impossible, to accurately describe spirits and spiritual things because our languages are intended to describe material things.  This often leads to inaccuracies, and differences in descriptions from various prophets.  It is not that they saw different things, but they describe it differently because they can only approximate a description of something spiritual.
