Mark 9:8 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 9:8

And suddenly, when they had looked round about
Upon hearing the voice, to see if they could observe any other object, by whom it was pronounced, and whether the same they had seen continued:

they saw no man any more;
neither Moses, nor Elias, not at that time, nor ever after;

save Jesus only with themselves:
the voice only regarded him, and being directed to them; (See Gill on Matthew 17:8).

Mark 9:8 In-Context

6 (For he did not know what he should answer, because they were terrified.)
7 And a cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came from the cloud, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!"
8 And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus alone.
9 And [as] they were coming down from the mountain, he ordered them that they should tell no one [the things] that they had seen, except when the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10 And they kept the matter to themselves, discussing what this rising from the dead {meant}.
