The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Mark 9:1-50

The Transfiguration [An Analysis] Mark 9:0 This verse would seem to belong to the preceding chapter. It may be taken alone for homiletic purposes, and treated under the form of an inquiry, viz., When does the kingdom of God come with power? (1) When it so comes as to show the comparative paltriness and worthlessness of other kingdoms. (2) When it brings the human heart into a state of joyful obedience to its spirit and precepts. (3) When it throws upon the mystery and solemnity of the future a... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Mark 9:1-13

1-13 Here is a prediction of the near approach Christ's kingdom. A glimpse of that kingdom was given in the transfiguration of Christ. It is good to be away from the world, and alone with Christ: and how good to be with Christ glorified in heaven with all the saints! But when it is well with us, we are apt not to care for others, and in the fulness of our enjoyments, we forget the many wants of our brethren. God owns Jesus, and accepts him as his beloved Son, and is ready to accept us in him.... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Mark 9:1-99

Mark 9 THESE WORDS, if they at all realized their import, must have come to the disciples as a great blow. Hence the Lord, in His tender consideration for them, proceeded to give them very ample assurance as to the reality of the glory that is to come. They had expected God’s kingdom to come with power and glory in their lifetime, and that illusion being dispelled, they might easily jump to the conclusion that it was not coming at all. Hence the three disciples, who seemed to be leaders among... read more
