SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 9:28–36: Three disciples saw Jesus’ glory

In 9:26 Jesus spoke about the time when he would return to earth and people would see his glory. Then in 9:28–36 God caused Jesus to be glorified for a short time. Peter, James, and John saw this. During that time, Moses and Elijah appeared and talked with Jesus. Peter suggested building shelters for Jesus, Moses, and Elijah. God showed these disciples that Jesus was greater than the great prophets Moses and Elijah because Jesus was God’s Son.

Some other examples of headings for this section are:

Jesus Talks with Moses and Elijah (NCV)

God showed three disciples who Jesus really was

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 17:1–12 and Mark 9:2–13.

9:30

The BSB changes the Greek order of the phrases in 9:30. Some other versions, such as the NIV and the NLT, include some part of 9:31 in 9:30 for clarity. See the General Comment on 9:30–31b at the end of the notes on 9:31b-c for suggestions about how to order all of these phrases.

9:30a

Suddenly two men, Moses and Elijah,

Suddenly two men appeared. They were Moses and Elijah.
Suddenly there were two other men there, Moses and Elijah,

Suddenly two men: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as Suddenly two men is literally “And behold, two men.” Several English versions translate the phrase this way. The Greek word that the BSB translates as Suddenly here, literally “behold,” calls the readers to notice something surprising and sudden. Your language may have an expression of its own that indicates this. For example:

All at once two men

9:30b

began talking with Jesus.

They started to speak with Jesus.
and they were speaking with Jesus.

Moses and Elijah: Moses and Elijah were both Old Testament prophets who lived many years before Jesus. But God brought them to the mountain to talk with Jesus.

Some people may not know that Moses and Elijah lived long before Jesus. If that is true in your area, you may want to include some implied information in the text or in a footnote. For example:

Moses and Elijah, prophets of long ago

began talking with Jesus: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as began talking can indicate either an ongoing action or an action that is just starting. Another way to translate this is:

were talking with Jesus (NCV)

It may be natural in your language to express the idea of talking with a term such as “conversing” or “speaking.”
