Mark 9:2-3

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 9:2-13

(2) And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them. (3) And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. (4) And there appeared, unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus. (5) And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Mark 9:1-13

1-13 Here is a prediction of the near approach Christ's kingdom. A glimpse of that kingdom was given in the transfiguration of Christ. It is good to be away from the world, and alone with Christ: and how good to be with Christ glorified in heaven with all the saints! But when it is well with us, we are apt not to care for others, and in the fulness of our enjoyments, we forget the many wants of our brethren. God owns Jesus, and accepts him as his beloved Son, and is ready to accept us in him.... 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

4. The Transfiguration. Mark 9:2-13(Parallels: Matthew 17:1-13; Luke 9:28-36) 2And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them. 3And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; 1 so as no fuller on earth can white them. 4And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus. 5And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Mark 9:2-6

Mark THE TRANSFIGURATION Mar_9:2 - Mar_9:13 . All three Evangelists are careful to date the Transfiguration by a reference to the solemn new teaching at Caesarea, and Mark’s ‘six days’ plainly cover the same time as Luke’s ‘eight’-the former reckoning excluding in the count, and the latter including, the days on which the two incidents occurred. If we would understand the Transfiguration, then, we must look at it as the sequel to Jesus’ open announcement of His death. His seeking the... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Mark 9:2-29

Rapture and Service Mark 9:2-29 The Apostles had been gladdened by the promise of the coming Kingdom. The transfiguring light that shone from our Lord’s face differed from the shining of Moses’ face. With Moses the light was from without, and faded; but with Christ the light shone from within. Surely at that moment He might have stepped back into heaven by the open door, through which the representatives of the Law and the prophets had come; but He turned His back on the joy of the Father’s... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Mark 9:1-50

Here we see four men who have passed without death into the atmosphere and society of the heavens. One only of the four is there by His own right. Pure and spotless humanity stands in the glory of the unsullied light, and holds familiar converse with the spirits of just men. We pass from the mountain to the valley. There we see Jesus, the baffled disciples, the father, the departing demon tearing his victim. The majesty and power of the Lord are manifested. Again He led these men through... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Mark 9:2

TRANSFIGURED!‘He was transfigured before them.’ Mark 9:2 We will gaze for a brief while upon the luminous and glorious aspect of Christ’s body in the moment of His Transfiguration. I. The unveiling of Christ’s Divinity.—We will see first of all the revelation, the unveiling of His Divinity. The flesh of our Blessed Lord was as a veil drawn over His Divine nature. It half concealed and half revealed what lay beneath, but it is difficult to read the Gospels and not to become aware that ever and... read more
