17:9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, 2 “Do not tell anyone about the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.”
1 tn Grk “and the,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more. Two other conjunctions are omitted in this series.
2 tn Grk “Jesus commanded them, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant and has not been translated.
3 sn A quotation from Exod 3:6.
4 sn He is not God of the dead but of the living. Jesus’ point was that if God could identify himself as God of the three old patriarchs, then they must still be alive when God spoke to Moses; and so they must be raised.
