Contextual Overview

¹ Jesus then took Pete, James, and John with him up on a mountain. ²It was on this mountain that Jesus was changed completely. His face shone brighter than the noonday sun and his clothes turned bright white. ³All of a sudden, two great cowboys from the past, Moses and Elijah, stood there with them, visitin' with Jesus. ⁴Pete told Jesus, "I wouldn't have missed this for the world! I'm gonna put up three tents—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." ⁵While Pete was still runnin' his mouth, a big bright cloud surrounded everyone. A voice from the cloud said, "This is my Boy and I sure enough love him and he makes me proud. Listen to every word he says!" ⁶When Pete, James, and John heard this, they fell flat on the ground and whimpered like weaned pups. ⁷But Jesus reached down and helped them up and told them, "Don't be scared!" ⁸When they stood up, Jesus was the only one standin' there. ⁹As they rode down the mountain, Jesus told them, "Don't say anything about this to anyone until I have been raised from the dead." ¹⁰They asked him, "Why do the religious teachers say that old cowboy Elijah must come back 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.
