The transfiguration (Mark 9:2-8), teachings concerning Elijah (Mark 9:9-13), the cure of the lunatic boy (Mark 9:14-29), another prophecy of the Passion (Mark 9:30-32), discussion of who was the greatest (Mark 9:33-37), the unknown wonder-worker (Mark 9:38-42), and a collection of independent maxims uttered by our Lord (Mark 9:43-50), form the subject matter of Mark 9.Mark 9:1 was discussed in Mark 8, but a little further attention is directed to it here.And he said unto them, Verily I say unto... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 9:2

And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.THE TRANSFIGURATIONAnd after six days ... Luke placed this event as "eight days" afterward; but, as Barclay said, "There is no discrepancy here. They both mean what we would express by saying, `About a week afterward.'"[4]In counting up a week, Sunday to Sunday, one gets eight days if he counts the Sundays and six days if he... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 9:1

This verse is the positive truth whereas Mark 8:38 expresses the negative. It concludes Jesus’ solemn warnings in this pericope on an encouraging note. Some standing in that mixed audience would not experience death before they saw a preview of the kingdom that the Son of Man would establish after He came in glory (Mark 8:38; cf. 2 Peter 1:16-19). Those individuals were Peter, James, and John (Mark 9:2-8).This pericope should warn unbelievers and believers alike. It is also an encouragement to... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 9:2-4

Mark’s account is almost identical to Matthew’s here. He added that Jesus’ garments became whiter than any human launderer could make them. This reflects an eyewitness’s testimony if nothing else. Perhaps the reference to six days followed by revelation should recall Exodus 24:15-16. Moses was on Mt. Sinai for six days and then God revealed Himself on the seventh. This is the most precise date in Mark’s Gospel before the passion story. It also connects this fulfillment with Jesus’ prediction in... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 9:2-8

3. The Transfiguration 9:2-8 (cf. Matthew 17:1-8; Luke 9:28-36)This event not only fulfilled Jesus’ prediction in Mark 9:1, but it also confirmed what Peter had confessed in Mark 8:29. Despite Jesus’ coming death (Mark 8:31-32), it assured His disciples of eventual glory (Mark 8:38). Jesus had just finished addressing a wide audience (Mark 8:34). Now He spoke to a very narrow one (Mark 9:2)."The transfiguration scene develops as a new ’Sinai’ theophany with Jesus as the central figure." [Note:... read more
