Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 9:28-36

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 9:28. About an eight days.—I.e. including the day on which the words were spoken and the day on which they were fulfilled. St. Mark says “six days,” reckoning the intervening time. Took.—“Took with Him” is a better reading (R.V.). A mountain.—Rather, “the mountain” (R.V.). It is probable that this was Mount Hermon, as it is the only place within the neighbourhood of Cæsarea Philippi that satisfies the requirements of the case. The summit of Tabor, which is the traditional... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 9:28-31

Luke 9:28-31 I. The Transfiguration throws light on the meaning of Christ's Passion. It shows that glory was His natural state, according to His own thought: "Now, O Father, glorify Thou Me with Thine own Self with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was." II. Evidently, one object of this scene was to confirm the faith of the disciples in the Divine Nature of a suffering Redeemer. III. This scene bears close relation to the Resurrection. On the former occasion Christ distinctly... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 9:29-30

Luke 9:29-30 The Re-appearance of the Departed. I. The Church, perfected and triumphant; the Church, expectant still, in their quiet resting-places; and the Church travailing, conflicting here, in the battlefield of this lower world were all one upon that holy mount. And they all gathered round the same Christ the Friend of all, the Saviour of all, the Lord of all. He was the Spring from which all came. He was the End to which all tended. They all combined to make His kingdom. II. If we pass... read more

DISCOURSE: 1508THE TRANSFIGURATION OF CHRISTLuke 9:29-32. And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering. And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease, which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. But Peter, and they that were with him, were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.THEY, who were the immediate... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 9:1-62

Let's turn in our Bibles to the gospel according to Luke, chapter 9.Luke here records the sending of the twelve to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. This is not to be confused with the time that He sent out the seventy. We will get that in the beginning of chapter 10. But here He is sending out the twelve to go throughout the area of Galilee. In fact, to go as far as they can, they are to travel light. Which means that they will be traveling fast, and they will be getting out as... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 9:1-62

Luke 9:1 . He called his twelve disciples together, privately, it would seem, and gave them power and authority to preach, and to heal diseases. Those powers must go together as was foretold in Isaiah 35:0. This divine commission was ground of confidence to all thus sent into the world. A minister of Christ without ministerial powers, would be like an ambassador at a foreign court without instructions. They have the keys of the church for the admission of converts, and power to deny the... read more
