Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Mark 9:1-50

Mark 9:7 Oh that this misled and blindfolded world would see that Christ doth not rise and fall, stand or lie by men's apprehensions! What is Christ the lighter, that men do with Him by open proclamation as men do with clipped and light money? They are now crying down Christ... But the Lord hath weighed Him and balanced Him already: This is My beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased: hear ye Him! This worth and weight stand still. It is our part to cry: 'Up, up with Christ, and down, down with... read more

CHAPTER 9:28-37 (Mark 9:28-37)JESUS AND THE DISCIPLES"And when He was come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, saying, We could not cast it out. And He said unto them, This kind can come out by nothing, save by prayer. And they went forth from thence, and passed through Galilee; and He would not that any man should know it. For He taught His disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered up into the hands of men, and they shall kill Him; and when He is killed, after... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Mark 9:1-50

The Transfiguration [An Analysis] Mark 9:0 This verse would seem to belong to the preceding chapter. It may be taken alone for homiletic purposes, and treated under the form of an inquiry, viz., When does the kingdom of God come with power? (1) When it so comes as to show the comparative paltriness and worthlessness of other kingdoms. (2) When it brings the human heart into a state of joyful obedience to its spirit and precepts. (3) When it throws upon the mystery and solemnity of the future a... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Mark 9:33-37

(33) And he came to Capernaum; and being in the house, he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way? (34) But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves who should be the greatest. (35) And he sat down and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. (36) And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Mark 9:30-40

30-40 The time of Christ's suffering drew nigh. Had he been delivered into the hands of devils, and they had done this, it had not been so strange; but that men should thus shamefully treat the Son of man, who came to redeem and save them, is wonderful. Still observe that when Christ spake of his death, he always spake of his resurrection, which took the reproach of it from himself, and should have taken the grief of it from his disciples. Many remain ignorant because they are ashamed to... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Mark 9:1-99

Mark 9 THESE WORDS, if they at all realized their import, must have come to the disciples as a great blow. Hence the Lord, in His tender consideration for them, proceeded to give them very ample assurance as to the reality of the glory that is to come. They had expected God’s kingdom to come with power and glory in their lifetime, and that illusion being dispelled, they might easily jump to the conclusion that it was not coming at all. Hence the three disciples, who seemed to be leaders among... read more
