Contextual Overview

³⁰ Then Jesus and his followers left that place and went through Galilee. He didn't want anyone to know where he was, ³¹ because he was teaching his followers. He said to them, "The Son of Man will be handed over to people, and they will kill him. After three days, he will rise from the dead." ³² But the followers did not understand what Jesus meant, and they were afraid to ask him. ³³ Jesus and his followers went to Capernaum. When they went into a house there, he asked them, "What were you arguing about on the road?" ³⁴ But the followers did not answer, because their argument on the road was about which one of them was the greatest. ³⁵ Jesus sat down and called the twelve apostles to him. He said, "Whoever wants to be the most important must be last of all and servant of all." ³⁶ Then Jesus took a small child and had him stand among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said, ³⁷ "Whoever accepts a child like this in my name accepts me. And whoever accepts me accepts the One who sent me." ³⁸ Then John said, "Teacher, we saw someone using your name to force demons out of a person. We told him to stop, because he does not belong to our group." ³⁹ But Jesus said, "Don't stop him, because anyone who uses my name to do powerful things will not easily say evil things about me.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But they understood not that saying,.... Meaning either the whole of what he had said, concerning his delivery, death, and resurrection: and which then must be interpreted with some limitation; for they must understand the sense of his words, which were clear and express; especially concerning his death, which affected their minds with trouble and grief; for Matthew says, "they were exceeding sorry upon it", :-; but they could not understand how it could be, and upon what account, and for what end, so holy and good, and innocent a man as he was, could be put to death; nor how this could consist with his character, as the Son of God, the Messiah, and king of Israel; and with the notions they had of the Messiah's abiding for ever, and setting up a temporal kingdom on earth: or this may regard only his resurrection from the dead; which whether it was to be taken in a literal or mystical sense, they could not tell:

and were afraid to ask him; lest they should be upbraided with their ignorance and stupidity, as they had been lately rebuked by him for their unbelief, and the neglect of their duty; and as Peter had been severely reprimanded for expostulating with him about the selfsame things, delivered by him to them, not before.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the notes at Matthew 17:22-23.

Mark 9:31

Is delivered - Is given to men to make an atonement by his sufferings and death, and will in due time be taken and killed.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 32. But they understood not — This whole verse is wanting in two MSS., in the first edition of Erasmus, and in that of Aldus. Mill approves of the omission. It does not appear likely, from Matthew's account, that three of the disciples, Peter, James, and John, could be ignorant of the reasons of Christ's death and resurrection, after the transfiguration; on the contrary, from the circumstances there related, it is very probable that from that time they must have had at least a general understanding of this important subject; but the other nine might have been ignorant of this matter, who were not present at the transfiguration; probably it is of these that the evangelist speaks here. See the observations on the transfiguration, Matthew 17:9, &c., and Matthew 18:1.
