Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 9:36

And when the voice came, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no man in those days any of the things which they had seen.When the voice came ... may be rendered, "When the voice was past," thus associating the words "hear ye him" with the disappearance of Moses and Elijah, and having the necessary implication of "hear Jesus only."And told no man ... In this the apostles were obedient to the instructions of the Lord (Matthew 17:9), the same reasons why they were not to... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Luke 9:36

36. Jesus was found alone—Moses and Elias are gone. Their work is done, and they have disappeared from the scene, feeling no doubt with their fellow servant the Baptist, "He must increase, but I must decrease." The cloud too is gone, and the naked majestic Christ, braced in spirit, and enshrined in the reverent affection of His disciples, is left—to suffer! kept it close—feeling, for once at least, that such things were unmeet as yet for the general gaze. :-.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 9:1-50

G. Jesus’ preparation of the Twelve 9:1-50In this last major section describing Jesus’ ministry in and around Galilee (Luke 4:14 to Luke 9:50), Luke stressed Jesus’ preparation of His disciples for the opposition that lay before them. This was the climax of Jesus’ ministry in Galilee, and these events formed a bridge to Luke’s unique major section on Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem (Luke 9:51 to Luke 19:10).Previously Luke recorded Jesus teaching and authenticating His teaching with miracles mainly... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 9:14-50

IV. JESUS’ MINISTRY IN AND AROUND GALILEE 4:14-9:50Luke commenced his account of Jesus’ public ministry with His return to Galilee following His temptation. This section of his Gospel ends with Jesus’ decision to leave Galilee for Jerusalem and the Cross (Luke 9:51). Luke did not give as much information about Jesus’ Galilean ministry as the other synoptic writers did (cf. Matthew 4:12 to Matthew 16:12; Mark 1:14 to Mark 8:26). He chose, rather, to emphasize Jesus’ ministry as He traveled from... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 9:28-36

5. The Transfiguration 9:28-36 (cf. Matthew 17:1-8; Mark 9:2-8)This event is a climax of the "identity of Jesus" motif in all the Synoptics. Here three disciples saw and heard who Jesus really was. Luke’s particular emphasis was the sufferings of Jesus that were coming. This comes through in his description of Jesus’ conversation with Moses and Elijah (Luke 9:30-31) and his interpretation of what the heavenly voice said (Luke 9:35). The whole scene recalls God’s appearance to Moses on Mt. Sinai... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 9:36

The scene ends with Jesus alone the center of the disciples’ attention. The disciples told no one what they had seen because Jesus told them to keep it quiet (Matthew 17:9; Mark 9:9). Luke simply recorded the fact and omitted the discussion about Elijah that followed (Matthew 17:10-13; Mark 9:10-13) thus highlighting Jesus’ authority.The major emphasis in Luke’s account of the Transfiguration is that the glorious Son of God must suffer. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 9:28-36

(28-36) And it came to pass.—See Notes on Matthew 17:1-13, and Mark 9:2-13. St. Luke’s way of reckoning, “about an eight days,” where the other two Gospels give “after six days,” is interesting, as throwing light on the mode of reckoning which sees three days in the interval between our Lord’s death and resurrection. (See Note on Matthew 27:63.) read more
