Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 9:1-13

Here is, I. A prediction of Christ's kingdom now near approaching, Mark 9:1. That which is foretold, is, 1. That the kingdom of God would come, and would come so as to be seen: the kingdom of the Messiah shall be set up in the world by the utter destruction of the Jewish polity, which stood in the way of it; this was the restoring of the kingdom of God among men, which had been in a manner lost by the woeful degeneracy both of Jews and Gentiles. 2. That it would come with power, so as to make... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 9:14-29

We have here the story of Christ casting the devil out of a child, somewhat more fully related than it was in Matt. 17:14 Observe here, I. Christ's return to his disciples, and the perplexity he found them in. He laid aside his robes of glory, and came to look after his family, and to enquire what was become of them. Christ's glory above does not make him forget the concerns of his church below, which he visits in great humility, Mark 9:14. And he came very seasonably, when the disciples were... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 9:9-13

9:9-13 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus enjoined them that they must not relate to anyone what they had seen, except when the Son of Man should have risen from the dead. They clung to this word, asking among themselves, what this phrase about rising from the dead could mean. They asked Jesus, "Do the experts in the Law not say that Elijah must come first?" "It is true," he said to them, "Elijah comes first and sets all things in order. And yet how does it stand written about... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 9:14-18

9:14-18 When they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd gathered around them, and the experts in the law engaged in discussion with them. And as soon as they saw him the whole crowd were amazed and ran to him and greeted him. He asked them, "What are you discussing among yourselves?" And one of the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought my son to you because he has a spirit which makes him dumb. And whenever the spirit seizes him, it convulses him, and he foams at the mouth and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 9:12

And he answered, and told them ,.... Allowing that their observation was right, and that this was the sense of the Scribes, and that there was something of truth in it, when rightly understood: Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things : See Gill on Matthew 17:11 ; and how it is written of the son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought . The sense of Christ is, that John the Baptist, whom he means by Elias, comes first, and restores all things: and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 9:13

But I say unto you, that Elias is indeed come ,.... Meaning John the Baptist, who in prophecy is designed by him. And they have done unto him whatsoever they listed ; See Gill on Matthew 17:12 ; which words should be read in a parenthesis, as they are in the Vulgate Latin version; for what follows, as it is written of him , respects not what the Scribes and Pharisees, and the people of the Jews did to John at their pleasure; despising his ministry and message, rejecting the counsel... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 9:14

And when he came to his disciples ,.... The other nine, who were left at the bottom of the mountain, and were waiting for him: he saw a great multitude about them : there was a multitude that followed him from Bethsaida hither; and which, very likely, was greatly increased upon Christ's arrival in those parts, and the people hearing of it; and the Scribes questioning with them ; disputing and contending with them about their master, his doctrines and miracles, and their mission and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 9:15

And straightway all the people, when they beheld him ,.... As soon as ever they saw him, to many of whom, especially those that followed him out of Galilee, he was personally known. Were greatly amazed ; either that he should come at that juncture, to assist and relieve his disciples, when the Scribes were triumphing over them, as some think; or rather, as others, on account of that remaining lustre and glory which was on his countenance, through his transfiguration, and not yet wholly... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 9:16

And he asked the Scribes ,.... The Vulgate Latin renders it, "he asked them"; and the Ethiopic version, he said unto them; meaning either that he asked the disciples when he came to them, or else the people that ran to salute him; but the Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions read, "the Scribes"; seeing them about his disciples, in close debate with them, and running hard upon them, he asks them, what question ye with them ? what is it ye seek and require of them? what is your dispute with... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 9:17

And one of the multitude answered and said ,.... The Scribes made no reply, being afraid to engage with him, whom they had often found too hard for them; and the disciples, if they were spoken to, were silent, through shame, because they had not succeeded in the cure of the person brought to them, which gave their enemies an handle against them: wherefore the parent of the afflicted child made answer, saying; the occasion of this debate between the Scribes, and thy disciples, is as follows: ... read more
