Luke 9:34 NLT,NIV,ESV

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 9:33-36

The voice from heaven: v. 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. v. 34. While he thus spake, there came a cloud and overshadowed them; and they feared as they entered into the cloud. v. 35. And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is My beloved Son: hear Him. v. 36. And when the voice was... read more

b. The Transfiguration (Luke 9:28-36)28And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James [James and John, V. O.6], and went up into a [the] mountain to pray. 29And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering [ἐξαστράπτων, lit., flashing forth light]. 30And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias [Elijah]: 31Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease [or, departure]... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 9:28-36

a Glimpse of Glory Luke 9:28-36 From some aspects this was the highest point in our Savior’s earthly career. He was the second Adam and had not sinned. There was no reason, therefore, that He should die. He might in a moment have been changed; that which was mortal might have been swallowed up of life. The door through which Moses and Elijah had come stood open, and by it our Lord might have returned. But He could never, under those circumstances, have been the Savior of mankind. He knew... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 9:1-62

As He sent His apostles out, He gave them power and authority. They went forth without any provision for the journey other than the things of spiritual equipment. Rumors of the ministry and power they exercised reached Herod, and he was filled with fear. The apostles returned from their fist mission, and our Lord took them to Bethsaida, where He performed the wonder of feeding the crowd. In a remarkable way, that feeding is a parabolic illustration of the method by which those who serve Him... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Luke 9:32-54

What Kind of a Christian Am I? Luke 9:32-54 INTRODUCTORY WORDS In the ninth chapter of Luke, we have at least nine marks of carnality displayed by the disciples. We will introduce the study by noting two of these, leaving seven to be brought out later. As these nine marks of carnality are brought out, let each one endeavor to answer the question which we have used as the subject of this study. The objective is to discover not what the disciples did, so much as to discover what we are doing.... read more

THE OVERSHADOWING CLOUD‘There came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.’ Luke 9:34 How like were the disciples then to some of us who are Christ’s disciples now! That overshadowing cloud warns us, as it warned St. Peter, that this world is a battle-field, not a vision of Peace; a working time, not the rest that remaineth; the Mount of Crucifixion, not the Mount of Glory. To our Blessed Lord Himself that overshadowing cloud was a type of what His... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:1-36

3). Jesus is Revealed As The Messiah Who Has Come With Power (8:19-9:36). In this third part of Section 3 Jesus is Revealed as the glorious Messiah Who has come with power but will be involved in suffering and death (Luke 8:19 to Luke 9:36). It may be analysed as follows: a He no longer owns responsibility to His own family who do not believe in Him, and are on the outside (His own do not recognise Him) (Luke 8:19-21). b He is revealed as the One Who is from above by quelling the storm,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:33-36

The Light of the Word (9:33-36). The Jews walk on blindly, seeking signs and coming under the condemnation of these men of old for not responding to Jesus’ words, but in contrast His disciples are to become lamps revealing and receiving the light of God, and are not to be concerned with signs but only with seeking single-heartedly His light though His words. And He promises that if their eyes are single and are fixed on God then their eye will be like a lamp lit by God (Luke 9:34), and they... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary 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.’ And even while he was speaking a cloud came down and overshadowed ‘them’. This ‘them’ may indicate the three glorious figures (Mark says that God spoke out of the cloud), or it may include all being enveloped by God (Mark can be interpreted in this way). This descent of the cloud had happened also on Mount Sinai, (compare Exodus 24:15-16), and it had indicated the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:28-36

Luke 9:8-Zephaniah : . The Transfiguration ( Mark 9:2-Ruth : *, Matthew 17:1-Ruth : *).— Again Jesus is pictured as praying. The theme of His conversation with Moses and Elijah is given, viz. His decease (lit., exodus; significant in connexion with Moses) at Jerusalem. In Luke 9:32 text is better than mg. The pronouns in Luke 9:34 are ambiguous: “ them” and the second “ they” may mean Jesus, Moses and Elijah. In Luke 9:36 follow mg. Lk. omits the discussion concerning Elijah. read more
