This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
34. νεφέλη. “A bright cloud,” Mat 17:5. Possibly the Shekinah, or cloud of glory (see on Luk 1:35), which was the symbol of the Divine Presence (Exo 33:9; 1Ki 8:10). If a mere mountain cloud had been intended, there would have been no reason for their fear.

αὐτούς. This reading implies that the Apostles also were overshadowed by the cloud of glory. The less attested ἐκείνους of Rec[203] implies that it only overspread Jesus, and Moses, and Elias.

[203] Rec. The Textus Receptus.
