‏ Luke 9:35

If  εκεινους be accepted here instead of  αυτους, the three disciples would be outside of the cloud.

 Out of the cloud ( εκ της νεφελης ). This voice was the voice of the Father like that at the baptism of Jesus (Lu 3:22; Mr 1:11; Mt 3:17) and like that near the end (Joh 12:28-30) when the people thought it was a clap of thunder or an angel.

 My son, my chosen ( Hο υιος μου, ο εκλελεγμενος ). So the best documents (Aleph B L Syriac Sinaitic). The others make it "My Beloved" as in Mr 9:7; Mt 17:5. These disciples are commanded to hear Jesus, God's Son, even when he predicts his death, a pointed rebuke to Simon Peter as to all.
