“And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.”
When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves and did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen — the aftermath of the transfiguration: only Jesus, the two figures gone, the cloud lifted. The disciples kept this to themselves: the voluntary keeping of the secret communicates their obedience to the command to silence (implied) and their struggle to understand what they have seen.
