The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 9:32

And the two men that stood with him . It has been asked—How did the disciples know the names which those glorified ones had once borne? Three replies are at least probable. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 9:33

And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias' not knowing what he said . The three evangelists who relate the Transfiguration scene, with trifling variations repeat this remark of Peter's. It is valuable to us when we remember that the tradition of the marvellous event comes from Peter, James, and John; and that they repeat the strange... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 9:34

While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud . This luminous cloud, bright though it was, yet veiled the more intolerable brightness within. That such a bright cloud had the power of overshadowing and concealing, is not strange, for light in its utmost intensity hides as effectually as the darkness would do. God dwells in light inaccessible, whom therefore "no man hath seen, nor can see" ( 1 Timothy 6:16 ). Milton writes— ... read more

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 9:37

On the next day, when they were come down from the hill. The Transfiguration had taken place in the late evening or night. It probably lasted for a much longer period than the brief account, preserved by the eye-witnesses, seems to speak of. How long the three disciples slept is not mentioned. Wearied and exhausted, deep slumber overtook them while the Master was praying. When they awoke, Jesus was bathed in glory, and the two heavenly spirits were conversing with him. They only tell us... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 9:37-42

The healing of the lunatic child. From this most interesting story we may gather the truths— I. THAT FROM THE VERY FANGS OF DEFEAT A GREAT VICTORY MAY BE SECURED . More than once in the history of war there has occurred such an incident as that which is related concerning the great struggle in the United States. A severe and successful attack is made by one army on the other; the enemy is driven back, his guns and his camp captured. As his regiments are in full... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 9:37-62

The secret of successful work. We saw that the Transfiguration was the result of prayer; but it was not the end of the prayer. This was preparation for further service. The glory is not the end , but only an incidental accompaniment, of devotedness of spirit. It is work for God , further service in his kingdom, which is the aim of all means of grace. And now these verses bring out in different aspects the secret of successful work. Let us notice I. SUCCESSFUL WORK ... read more
