“And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.”
A voice came from the cloud, saying, this is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him — the voice repeats the baptismal declaration with the Caesarea Philippi context's specific addition: whom I have chosen (ho eklelegmenos, the chosen one — possibly echoing Isaiah 42:1). Listen to him: the command addressed specifically to the disciples who have been arguing about greatness, who have suggested shelters, who have been sleeping — listen to this one.
