Matthew 17:6
Fell on their face - Dismayed by the voice, and dazzled by the glory of the cloud. So Daniel, Daniel 8:17, and Saul of Tarsus, Acts 9:4.
4 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish,1 let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
5 aWhile he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, b“This is My beloved Son, cin whom I am well pleased. dHear Him!”
6 aAnd when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid.
7 But Jesus came and atouched them and said, “Arise, and do not be afraid.”
8 When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.
