SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:8
Y luego, como miraron, no vieron ms a nadie consigo, sino a Jess solo.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 8. And suddenly, when they had looked round about , etc..] 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).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-13 - Here is a prediction of the near approach Christ's kingdom. A glimps of that kingdom was given in the transfiguration of Christ. It is goo to be away from the world, and alone with Christ: and how good to be with Christ glorified in heaven with all the saints! But when it is well with us, we are apt not to care for others, and in the fulness of our enjoyments, we forget the many wants of our brethren. God own Jesus, and accepts him as his beloved Son, and is ready to accept us in him. Therefore we must own and accept him as our beloved Saviour, an must give up ourselves to be ruled by him. Christ does not leave the soul, when joys and comforts leave it. Jesus explained to the disciple the prophecy about Elias. This was very suitable to the ill usage of John Baptist.

8. Suddenly (exapina). The Greek word only here in the New Testament.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
9:8 {Suddenly looking round about} (exapina peribleyamenoi). #Mt 17:8 has it "lifting up their eyes." Mark is more graphic. The sudden glance around on the mountain side when the cloud with Moses and Elijah was gone. {Jesus only with themselves} (meq' heautwn ei me iesoun monon). Mark shows their surprise at the situation. They were sore afraid (#Mt 17:6) before Jesus touched them.
