Luke 9:30-37 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 9:28-36

We have here the narrative of Christ's transfiguration, which was designed for a specimen of that glory of his in which he will come to judge the world, of which he had lately been speaking, and, consequently, an encouragement to his disciples to suffer for him, and never to be ashamed of him. We had this account before in Matthew and Mark, and it is well worthy to be repeated to us, and reconsidered by us, for the confirmation of our faith in the Lord Jesus, as the brightness of his Father's... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 9:37-42

This passage of story in Matthew and Mark follows immediately upon that of Christ's transfiguration, and his discourse with his disciples after it; but here it is said to be on the next day, as they were coming down from the hill, which confirms the conjecture that Christ was transfigured in the night, and, it should seem, though they did not make tabernacles as Peter proposed, yet they found some shelter to repose themselves in all night, for it was not till next day that they came down from... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 9:28-36

9:28-36 About eight days after these words, Jesus took Peter and John and James and went up into a mountain to pray. While he was praying the appearance of his face became different and his clothing became white as the lightning's flash. And--look you--two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah. They appeared in glory, and they talked about the departure which he was going to accomplish in Jerusalem. Peter and his friends were heavy with sleep. When they were fully awake they... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 9:37-45

9:37-45 On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd of people met him. And--look you--a man shouted from the crowd, "Teacher, I beg you to look with pity upon my son, because he is my only child. And--look you--a spirit seizes him and he suddenly shouts out; he convulses him until he foams at the mouth; he shatters him and will hardly leave him. I begged your disciples to cast out the spirit but they could not do it." Jesus answered, "O faithless and twisted... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 9:30

And behold there talked with him two men ,.... Of great note and fame: which were Moses and Elias ; the one the giver of the law from God to the people "of Israel", as well as the redeemer of them from Egyptian bondage, and who led them through the wilderness, to the borders of Canaan's land; and the other a prophet famous for his zeal for God, and his worship, and who was translated, soul and body, to heaven: these appeared and talked with Christ on the mount; and what they talked of is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 9:31

Who appeared in glory ,.... In a very glorious manner, in most divine and beautiful forms to Christ, and to his disciples: and spake of his decease, which he should accomplish at Jerusalem ; the word, rendered "decease", is "Exodus", the name of the second book of Moses; so called from the departure of the children of Israel out of Egypt, it gives an account of; and which departure is expressed by this word, in Hebrews 11:22 and to which the allusion is here. Death is a departure out... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 9:32

But Peter, and they that were with him ,.... The other two disciples, James and John; were heavy with sleep ; as they afterwards were in the garden, while Christ was praying, as he had been now; being weary with the labours of the day past, and it being now night, as is very probable, since that was an usual time Christ spent in prayer: and when they were awake , The Syriac version reads, "scarcely awake"; they were so heavy with sleep, that it was with difficulty they were awaked... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 9:33

And it came to pass, as they departed from him ,.... That is, as Moses and Elias departed from Christ; or "when they began to depart", as the Syriac version renders it; or "would depart", as the Arabic and Persic versions; seemed desirous of going, or made some signal or other by which the disciples perceived they were about to go; for, as yet, they were not gone; Peter said unto Jesus, master, it is good for us to be here, let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 9:34

While he thus spake there came a cloud ,.... While Peter was making the above request, before an answer was returned, a cloud appeared, a very uncommon one, as a symbol of the divine presence: "and overshadowed them"; Jesus, Moses, Elias, and the disciples: and they feared as they entered into the cloud ; either as they themselves entered into it, that coming gradually over them, because of the glory of it, and the solemnity that attended it; or as Moses and Elias entered into it; and so... read more
