Exegesis
The concluding monon {μόνον | mónon}, used adverbially, intensifies exclusivity: “only.” English preserves the negation-plus-exception pattern and the climactic stress on Jesus as the sole figure seen.
In context — Matthew 17:8
When they raised their eyes, they saw no one—except Jesus alone .
