馬可福音 9:2-8 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 9:1-8

The Transfiguration. A brief interval of six days occurs, "days of the Son of man," of which no record remains. How much of even this brief ministry to men seems to be lost! Yet is the account of each day to be given when, to every man favored with his presence and teaching, it is said, "Render the account of thy stewardship." The silence of the record is an appropriate prelude to the sublime event which follows. "He went up into a mountain to pray." "Peter, James, and John"—"the flower... read more

Parallel passages: Matthew 18:1-13 ; Luke 9:28-36 A glimpse of glory. I. THE TRANSFIGURATION . 1 . Allusions to the Transfiguration. The scene described in the above parallel passages is as singular as solemn. There are, however, two allusions to it in other books of the New Testament One is in St John's Gospel ( John 1:14 ), And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory , the glory as of the only begotten of the Father ,) full of grace... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 9:2-3

After six days . St. Luke 9:28 says, "About eight days after these sayings." There is no real discrepancy here. There were six whole days that intervened between our Lord's words and the Transfiguration itself. Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John . He chose these three, as the leaders amongst the disciples, and he showed to them his glory, because he intended also to show them afterwards his bitter agony in the garden. This magnificent splendor—this "excellent glory," as 2... read more

The Transfiguration. I. THE CIRCUMS TANCES . At an interval of six or eight (Luke) days from Peter's confession and the teaching of the cross. "Into a high mountain," i.e. into some glen or secluded spot in the mountain. As there is no mention of any movement southward, and distinct assurance that they did not at this time go into Galilee ( Mark 9:30 ), the notion of Tabor being the mountain is unfounded. The slightness of its elevation, and the circumstance that its summit has... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 9:2-13

Transfiguration Observe the crisis of our Lord's ministry at which this marvelous and memorable incident took place. The period of novelty, of popularity, of prosperity, was past and gone; the period of hostility, of persecution, of endurance, was commencing. Already Jesus had forewarned his disciples of the speedy approach of his death at the hands of his enemies. And it seems as though this unique and impressive display of his proper majesty, and of the affection and confidence of his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 9:2-18

Glimpses of the glory of Jesus. I. SPECIAL FAVOURS FOR SPECIAL SERVICES . The three disciples had given up all to follow Christ, had submitted them. selves entirely to the Divine will. Only to such consecration is the deeper vision of truth granted, and ascent to the loftiest heights of spiritual enjoyment. II. DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF CHRIST 'S APPEARANCE . 1 . He wore one appearance for the multitude, another for the circle of disciples. In the multitude he was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 9:4

And there appeared unto them Elijah with Moses . Moses and Elijah were there because Moses was the lawgiver of the old covenant, and Elijah was conspicuous among the prophets; so that they were the representatives, the one of the Law, and the other of the "goodly fellowship of the prophets. They appear together to bear witness to Christ as the true Messiah, the Savior of the world, prefigured in the Law, and foretold by the prophets. They appear to bear witness to him, and then to resign... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 9:5

Peter answereth, and saith to Jesus . We learn from St. Luke 9:33 that this happened just as Moses and Elijah were departing. Peter was excited, and there was fear mingled with his excitement. He was bewildered. His first idea was to seek that they might remain, for he saw that they were just preparing to depart. Theophylact says upon this, "Do not say with Peter, 'It is good for us to be here;' for it behoves us ever, whilst in the flesh, to be advancing, and not to remain in one stage of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 9:6

They became sore afraid . There is a slight change of reading here. Instead of ἧσαν γὰρ ἔκφοβοι the best authorities give ἔκφοβοι γὰρ ἐγένοντο . A sense of great awe and terror overpowered the bliss and brightness of the scene. All the revelations of the other world strike terror, even though abated as this manifestation was by the presence of their dear Lord and Savior. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 9:7

There came a cloud overshadowing them . The cloud enfolded them all, so that they could not be seen, it was so ample and dense, and yet so bright and shining. St. Matthew ( Matthew 17:5 ) says it was "a ought cloud. The cloud was a symbol of the grandeur and unapproachable glory of God. The disciples were admitted within this cloud that they might have a foretaste of future glory, and that they might be witnesses of what took place under the cloud, and especially that they might be able to... read more
