For they were all so terrified This phrase captures the intense fear experienced by Peter, James, and John during the Transfiguration of Jesus. The Greek word for "terrified" is "ἔκφοβοι" (ekphoboi), which conveys a sense of being struck with fear or awe. This fear is not merely a reaction to the unknown but a profound reverence and overwhelming sense of the divine presence. Historically, encounters with the divine in the Old Testament, such as Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3:6) or Isaiah's vision of God (Isaiah 6:5), often resulted in fear and awe. This fear is a recognition of the holiness and majesty of God, which is consistent with the conservative Christian understanding of the fear of the Lord as the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). that Peter did not know what else to say Parallel Commentaries ...
