Luke 9:34-36

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 9:35

And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him . The reading here of the older authorities must be adopted. Instead of the voice out of the cloud saying, "This is my beloved Son," we must substitute," This is my Elect." As SS . Matthew and Mark both read, "my beloved Son," we have here another of the many proofs that each of the three records of the Transfiguration is a distinct and separate memory of itself. The voice was evidently for the disciples—one... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 9:35

The wisdom of hearing Christ. Three things are clear to us, preliminarily. 1 . Jesus Christ is addressing us. From his home and throne on high our Saviour stoops to call us, to instruct us, to bless us. He is saying to us , " Come unto me;" " Abide in me;" " Follow me. " 2 . We need not hear him if we choose not to do so. As in a room where many groups of people are conversing, we only hear the voice of treat company to which we join ourselves and listen, so in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 9:36

And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen . The reasons of this silence for the present have been already discussed. The scene, doubtless, had done its work in the education of the three. Without telling their companions what they had seen and heard on the mount, we may assume that the sight of the serene confidence and renewed trust on the part of Peter, James, and John did its effectual work in strengthening their brethren. No doubt... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 9:28-36

Luke 9:28-36. It came to pass about eight days after Including the day on which the discourse, recorded in the preceding chapter, was delivered, and that on which the fact, here mentioned, took place: otherwise, exclusively of these two days, it was six days after, as Matthew has it. See the following account of our Lord’s transfiguration, explained at large in the notes on Matthew 17:1-8, with some additional observations on Mark 9:2-10.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 9:28-36

75. The transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-13; Mark 9:2-13; Luke 9:28-36)Jesus’ transfiguration took place on a high mountain, possibly Mount Hermon, which was not far from Caesarea Philippi. The event was a revelation of Christ’s glory and was witnessed by only three chosen apostles. In coming into the world as a human being, Jesus had laid his divine glory aside, but now it reappeared briefly through a human body. It gave an indication of the glory he would receive after he had finished the work... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 9:34

And while he said these things, there came a cloud and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.A cloud ... As Dummelow said:(This was) the visible glory, which according to Jewish ideas, manifested the divine presence. It is the same as the pillar of cloud and fire in the wilderness, the cloud that filled Solomon's temple, and the visible glory, which according to the rabbis, rested upon the ark, and was called the "Shechinah."[6]It was certainly no ordinary cloud,... read more
