Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

17:2 Jesus’ appearance was transformed: Jesus’ inner, divine nature, previously veiled, was now disclosed so that the three caught a glimpse of his glory (see Exod 34:29-35; Ps 104:2; 2 Cor 3:12-18; Rev 1:16). Jesus’ followers will one day share in this glory (Matt 13:43).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
μετεμορφώθη

ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν
