Mark 9:10-13 NIV

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 saying that was kept. The disciples did not understand their Master—a common experience. Why was this saying so difficult? It seems plain enough to us. But then we look at it after its accomplishment; they before that. And their rabbinic training taught them to look for something very different from what Christ seemed to be referring to. He spoke as if he alone was to rise again. They had been taught to think of the resurrection as universal, and altogether; not an experience of one... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 9:9-13

Dark sayings. I. RESERVE AND DELAY IN THE UTTERANCES OF TRUTH . There is an economy and an order in the kingdom of God. It is constantly observed by Christ. Certain truths there are always and everywhere to be made known; others must wait their time. As we are not to pry into the secrets of God, so neither are we hastily to blab them. Peculiar personal revelations should be treated with delicacy, not made an affair of the news-room or the market-place. The hour will come... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 9:10-11

Questioning among themselves what the rising again from the dead should mean ; that is, his own rising from the dead, of which our Lord had just been speaking. No doubt the general resurrection at the end of the world was an article of faith with which the disciples were familiar. But they could not understand, when he spake of his own immediate rising from the dead. So their perplexities led them at last to ask him the question; or rather to make the remark to him, The scribes say that... read more

Mark 9:2-10. Jesus taketh with him Peter, &c., apart by themselves That is, separate from the multitude, apart from the apostles; and was transfigured before them The word μετεμορφωθη , here used, seems to refer to the form of God, and the form of a servant, mentioned by St. Paul, Philippians 2:6-7, and may intimate that the divine rays, which the indwelling Deity let out on this occasion, made the glorious change from one of these forms into the other. White as snow, as no... read more

Mark 9:12-13. Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things, and how it is written That is, And, he told them, how it is written. As if he had said, Elijah’s coming is not inconsistent with my suffering. He is come; yet I shall suffer. The first part of the verse answers their question concerning Elijah; the second refutes their error concerning the Messiah’s continuing for ever. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 9:2-13

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
