Contextual Overview

¹ And, after six days, Jesus taketh with him, Peter and James and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain, apart; ² and was transformed before them, - and his face shone as the sun, and, his garments, became white as the light. ³ And lo! there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, conversing with him. ⁴ And Peter, answering, said unto Jesus - Lord! it is, delightful, for us, to be here, - If thou wilt, I will make here three tents, for thee, one, and, for Moses, one, and, for Elijah, one. ⁵ While yet he was speaking, lo! a brightly shining cloud, overshadowed them, and lo! a voice, out of the cloud, saying - This, is, my Son, the Beloved, in whom I delight, - Be hearkening to him. ⁶ And, hearing it, the disciples fell upon their face, and were caused to fear exceedingly. ⁷ And Jesus came near, and, touching them, said - Arise! and be not afraid. ⁸ And, lifting up their eyes, no one, saw they, save Jesus, himself, alone. ⁹ And, as they were coming down out of the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying - Unto no one, may ye tell the vision, until the Son of Man, from among the dead shall arise. ¹⁰ And the disciples questioned him, saying - Why then do, the Scribes, say, that, Elijah, must needs come, first?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Jesus came and touched them,.... The disciples were at some little distance from Christ, but he observing the fear and surprise they were in, came to their relief and assistance; which he did not disdain to give, notwithstanding the glory he was covered with; but acts the part of a mediator between God and them, and lays hold on them to raise them up, whom the majesty of God's voice had cast down: the Persic version renders it, "he came and brought them to themselves"; who were just fainting and swooning away, at the awfulness of the voice:

and said, arise, and be not afraid: it is not the voice of an angry God, but of God well pleased with me, and in me with you; it is the voice of my God, and your God, of my Father, and your Father; arise, stand on your feet, take heart, and be of good courage, no hurt will come to you.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Matthew 17:7. Jesus came and touched them — Exactly parallel to this account is Daniel 8:18, I was in a deep sleep, i, e. (a trance) on my face towards the ground; but he TOUCHED me, and set me upright. From Jesus alone are we to expect Divine communications, and by his power only are we able to bear and improve them. It is very likely that this transfiguration took place in the night, which was a more proper season to show forth its glory than the day time, in which a part of the splendour must necessarily be lost by the presence of the solar light. Besides, St. Luke, Luke 9:37, expressly says, that it was on the next day after the transfiguration that our Lord came down from the mount.
