Mark 9:1-29

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Mark 9:14-15

Casting Out a Deaf-and-Dumb Spirit. The return to the plain: v. 14. And when He came to His disciples, He saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them. v. 15. And straightway all the people, when they beheld Him, were greatly amazed, and, running to Him, saluted Him. Jesus had been gone over night, leaving His other disciples (except Peter, James, and John) in the plain. It is immaterial, once more, whether they were in Galilee or still in the neighborhood of... read more

The boy with the dumb spirit: v. 16. And He asked the scribes, What question ye with them? v. 17. And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto Thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; v. 18. and wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him; and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away. And I spake to Thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not. v. 19. He answereth him and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Mark 9:21-27

The healing: v. 21. And He asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. v. 22. And oft times it hath cast him into the fire and into the waters to destroy him. But if Thou canst do anything, have compassion on us and help us. v. 23. Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe; all things are possible to him that believeth. v. 24. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help Thou mine unbelief. v.... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Mark 9:28-29

The perplexity of the disciples: v. 28. And when He was come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, Why could not we cast him out? v. 29. And He said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing but by prayer and fasting. The failure of the disciples to effect a cure in this case, when there had been instances of success, chapter 6:13, perplexed them very much. They had also been deeply humiliated before the people by the sneering remarks of the scribes. When Jesus therefore... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Mark 9:1

3. The Opinions of the People, and Peter’s Confession. Pre-announcement of His Sufferings. The Presumption of Peter. Christ’s Teaching concerning Cross-bearing. Mark 8:27 to Mark 9:1(Parallels: Matthew 16:13-28; Luke 9:18-27) 27And Jesus went out and his disciples into the towns of Cæsarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am? 28And they answered,14 John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others, One of the 29prophets. And he said... 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

5. The Healing of the Possessed Child after the Transfiguration. Mark 9:14-29(Parallels: Matthew 17:14-21; Luke 9:37-43.) 14And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them. 15And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and, running to him, saluted him. 16And he asked the scribes 17[them 6], What question ye with them? And one 7 of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my... 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

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Mark 9:7

Mark THE TRANSFIGURATION ‘THIS IS MY BELOVED SON: HEAR HIM’ Mar_9:7 . With regard to the first part of these words spoken at the Transfiguration, they open far too large and wonderful a subject for me to do more than just touch with the tip of my finger, as it were, in passing, because the utterance of the divine words, ‘This is My beloved Son,’ in all the depth of their meaning and loftiness, is laid as the foundation of the two words that come after, which, for us, are the all-important... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Mark 9:8

Mark THE TRANSFIGURATION JESUS ONLY! Mar_9:8 . The Transfiguration was the solemn inauguration of Jesus for His sufferings and death. Moses, the founder, and Elijah, the restorer, of the Jewish polity, the great Lawgiver and the great Prophet, were present. The former had died and been mysteriously buried, the latter had been translated without ‘seeing death.’ So both are visitors from the unseen world, appearing to own that Jesus is the Lord of that dim land, and that there they draw their... read more
