The Greek word for "speaking" is "λαλέω" (laleó), which means to talk or to utter words. This indicates an ongoing conversation, emphasizing the immediacy and continuity of the moment. The disciples are in the midst of a profound experience, and this interruption signifies the importance of what is about to occur. It reminds us that God often intervenes in our lives at unexpected times, calling us to pay attention to His divine presence and purpose. a cloud appeared and enveloped them and they were afraid "Dark with excess of light." Philo speaks of the highest light as identical with darkness. Anselm thus understands the cloud here, quoting the words of 1 Timothy 6:16, referred to above, and then the words of Moses, "And Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was" (Exodus 20:21), and then this passage from the Transfiguration, and comments thus: "Illa caligo et ista nubes, atque ilia lux idem sunt" (see Archbishop Trench on "Transfiguration," in 'Studies in the Gospels,' 8). The fear which these eye-witnesses remember as one of their experiences that memorable night was a very natural feeling. As the cloud stole over the mountain ridge, and the glory-light gradually paled and waned, the sensation of intense pleasure and satisfaction, which we may assume to be the natural accompaniment of such a blessed scene, would give place to awe and amazement.
