Mark 9:8
Suddenly looking round about (ecapina peribleyamenoi). Matthew 17:8 has it "lifting up their eyes." Mark is more graphic. The sudden glance around on the mountain side when the cloud with Moses and Elijah was gone.
Jesus only with themselves (meq eautwn ei mh Ihsoun monon). Mark shows their surprise at the situation. They were sore afraid (Matthew 17:6) before Jesus touched them.
