But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

But Peter and they that were with Him were heavy with sleep. S. Chrysostom takes sleep to mean amazement. But we may rather accept the words simply as describing the natural sleep which had fallen on the Apostles after the fatigue of their journey and watchings, from which they were awakened by the brightness of the transfiguration. See S. Matthew 17:1.
