Exegesis
The verse begins with the aorist indicative middle {egeneto} introducing a fresh event, paired with the nominative cloud {νεφέλη | ne-phé-lē} and its present participle overshadowing {ἐπισκιάζουσα | e-pi-ski-á-zou-sa} to depict an enveloping divine presence directed toward the disciples.
In context — Mark 9:7
And a cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud a voice spoke: “This is My Son , the Beloved ; listen to Him.”
