This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Suddenly looking round about (exapina periblepsamenoi). Mat 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 (meth' heautōn ei mē Iēsoun monon). Mark shows their surprise at the situation. They were sore afraid (Mat 17:6) before Jesus touched them.
