Contextual Overview

¹ And after six days, Jeshu took Kipha, and Jakub, and Juchanon his brother, and led them to a high mountain by themselves. ² And Jeshu was changed before them; and his countenance shone like the sun, and his vestments were resplendent as the light. ³ And there were seen with them Musha and Elia talking with him. ⁴ Then answered Kipha, and said to Jeshu, My Lord, it is good for us to be here; and if thou art willing, we will make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Musha, and one for Elia. ⁵ But while he spake, behold, a bright cloud overspread them, and the voice was from the cloud, saying, This is my Son, the Beloved, in whom I have delighted: to him attend. ⁶ And when the disciples heard, they fell upon their faces and feared greatly. ⁷ And Jeshu approached them and touched them, and said, Arise, fear not. ⁸ And they lifted up their eyes and saw no man, except Jeshu by himself. ⁹ And while they were descending from the mountain, Jeshu charged them, and said to them, Before no man declare this vision [fn] until the Son of man be risen from the dead [fn] ¹⁰ And the disciples asked and said to him, Why therefore say the scribes that Elia must come first ?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when they had lift up their eyes,.... And "looked round about", as Mark says, to see whether the same objects still continued, as Moses and Elias; and the bright cloud:

they saw no man; neither Moses nor Elias, who were both gone: signifying, that though the law and the prophets were till this time, they were now finished and completed, and the Mosaic economy was to be no more; as these men appeared no more after, nor will they till the second coming of Christ. And Mark has it, "they saw no man any more"; that is, these men any more, neither then, nor afterwards, "save Jesus only". Mark adds, "with themselves"; in the same form as before his transfiguration. Christ is the only Mediator, Saviour, and Redeemer; the only Prophet, Priest, and King; and who only is to be, and can be beheld as such; and who does, and will abide with his people; and helps, comforts, and saves them, when none else can. Luke observes, that "when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone"; which was so ordered, that it might be a clear case, that this voice was only concerning Christ, and not either Moses or Elias.
