Contextual Overview

1Then he said to them, “Truly I tell you, 2After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up a high mountain by themselves to be alone. He was transfigured in front of them, 3and his clothes became dazzling—extremely white as no launderer on earth could whiten them. 4Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it’s good for us to be here. Let us set up three shelters: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”— 6because he did not know what to say, since they were terrified. 7A cloud appeared, overshadowing them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is my beloved Son; listen to him!” 8Suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.9As they were coming down the mountain, he ordered them to tell no one what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10They kept this word to themselves, questioning what “rising from the dead” meant.

Bible Verse Review

Luke 9:36, Luke 24:31, Acts 8:39, Acts 8:40, Acts 10:16

Reciprocal: Matthew 17:8 - they saw Luke 9:34 - there

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And suddenly, when they had looked round about,.... Upon hearing the voice, to see if they could observe any other object, by whom it was pronounced, and whether the same they had seen continued:

they saw no man any more; neither Moses, nor Elias, not at that time, nor ever after;

save Jesus only with themselves: the voice only regarded him, and being directed to them; :-.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And after six days ... - See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 17:1-9.

Mark 9:3

No fuller - Rather, no “scourer.” The office of the person here mentioned was to “scour” or “whiten” cloth; not to “full” it, or to render it thicker.

Mark 9:6

He wist not - He “knew not.” He was desirous of saying something, and he knew not what would be proper.
