Luke 9:29-32
29 As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening. 30 And behold, two men talked with Him, who were Moses and Elijah, 31 who appeared in glory and spoke of His decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. 32 But Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men who stood with Him.
While praying with three trusted disciples, Jesus showed some of God's glory while they slept and He talked with dead prophets about His own death coming soon on a cross. When the disciples awoke, they fearfully spoke of setting up shrines to worship Him or commemorate the event. They missed the part of His suffering and death in our place. It is not the miracles or wonders of what Christ did, but in His glory what He did in our place on the cross, dying in our place to bring us to God and giving life in place of and out of death.
