Exegesis
In the clause Kalon estin hēmas hôde eî-nai {καλόν ἐστιν ἡμᾶς ὧδε εἶναι | ka-lón é-stin hē-mâs hô-de eî-nai}, the predicate adjective kalon “good” precedes the impersonal verb estin and the infinitive phrase “for us to be here,” emphasizing Peter’s positive evaluation of the mountain setting.
In context — Matthew 17:4
Peter answered and said to Jesus , “Lord , it is a good thing for us to be here; if You wish, I will put up three tents here—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
