Exegesis
Mark then introduces the aorist passive metemorphothe {μετεμορφώθη | metemorphōthē} ‘was transfigured’ as the climactic revelation, followed by emprosthen autôn {ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν | émprosthen autôn} ‘before them,’ marking the disciples as direct witnesses. In translation, the presents become past tense for narrative flow, and the paratactic sequence of ‘and’ clauses is retained to preserve the original momentum toward divine disclosure.
In context — Mark 9:2
And after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John with Him and brought them up onto a high mountain where they were alone; and He was transfigured before them.
