A SIGHT, a thing seen — from horaō, to see. Jesus calls the transfiguration a horama (Matthew 17:9), and it is the word's ONLY appearance in the Gospels; Acts then uses it a dozen times for Peter's sheet, Paul's man of Macedonia, Ananias's instructions. ⚠ Its usefulness is its refusal to settle the question: it does not say 'a mere vision' (as against something real) and it does not say 'a bodily event' — it says a thing was seen. KJV/ASV/NWT all keep 'vision'; NIV dissolves it into 'what you have seen,' a fair gloss that loses the technical noun. Matthew alone supplies it: Mark and Luke narrate the same scene with no such word. → first discussed at Matt 17:9
