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).
