SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 17:1–13: Three disciples saw Jesus’ glory

In this section, Jesus changed his appearance. He made his face and his clothes shine very brightly. He did this in front of Peter, James and John. At the same time, the disciples saw Moses and Elijah. Then they heard the voice of God. When the disciples saw and heard all this, they understood that Jesus was not an ordinary teacher. They better understood that he really was the Messiah.

This section immediately follow 16:28 which says, “Truly, I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.” This section begins to fulfill that verse.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The disciples saw Jesus’ appearance change

Jesus’ glory was revealed on the mountain

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 9:2–12 and Luke 9:28–36.

17:13a

Then the disciples understood that

Then the disciples understood that
When Jesus said that, the disciples realized/knew that

Then the disciples understood: The Greek word that the BSB translates as understood can also be translated as “realized.” For example:

Then the disciples realized (NLT)

Then the disciples knew

17:13b

He was speaking to them about John the Baptist.

he was talking to them about John the Baptist.
the person/Elijah whom he was talking to them about was John the Baptist.

He was speaking to them about John the Baptist: This clause indicates that the disciples now understood that John the Baptist fulfilled the prophecies about Elijah.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

the person whom he was speaking to them about was John the Baptist

when he spoke of Elijah, he was really speaking to them about John the Baptist

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οἱ μαθηταὶ

the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε συνῆκαν οἱ μαθηταί ὅτι περί Ἰωάννου τοῦ Βαπτιστοῦ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς)

Matthew continues to refer to Peter, James, and John, the three disciples who went up on the mountain with Jesus. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [Peter, James, and John]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

περὶ Ἰωάννου τοῦ Βαπτιστοῦ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε συνῆκαν οἱ μαθηταί ὅτι περί Ἰωάννου τοῦ Βαπτιστοῦ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς)

Matthew implies that the disciples realized that Jesus was using the name “Elijah” to refer to John the Baptist. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [when he was talking about Elijah, he was speaking to them about John the Baptist] or [he was saying that Elijah was John the Baptist]
