Mateo 17:7 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 17:7

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.

Mateo 17:7 In-Context

5 Mientras estaba aún hablando, he aquí, una nube luminosa los cubrió; y una voz salió de la nube, diciendo: Este es mi Hijo amado en quien me he complacido; a El oíd.

6 Cuando los discípulos oyeron esto, cayeron sobre sus rostros y tuvieron gran temor.

7 Entonces se les acercó Jesús, y tocándolos, dijo: Levantaos y no temáis.

8 Y cuando alzaron sus ojos no vieron a nadie, sino a Jesús solo.

9 Mientras descendían del monte, Jesús les ordenó, diciendo: No contéis a nadie la visión hasta que el Hijo del Hombre haya resucitado de entre los muertos.
