Contextual Overview

28 And it came to passe, about an eyght dayes after these sayinges, he toke Peter, and Iohn, and Iames, and went vp into a mountayne to pray. 29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenaunce was chaunged, & his garment was whyte, and shone. 30 And beholde, there talked with hym two men, which were Moyses & Elias: 31 That appeared in the maiestie, & spake of his departyng, which he shoulde end at Hierusalem. 32 But Peter, and they that were with him, were heauie with sleepe: and whe they awoke, they sawe his maiestie, and two men standyng with hym. 33 And it came to passe, as they departed fro him, Peter said vnto Iesus: Maister it is good beyng here for vs, let vs make three tabernacles, one for thee, & one for Moyses, and one for Elias: and wyst not what he sayde. 34 Whyle he thus spake, there came a cloude, and ouershadowed them, & they feared whe they wer come into ye cloude 35 And there came a voyce out of the cloude, saying: this is my deare sonne, heare him. 36 And assoone as the voyce was paste, Iesus was founde alone: and they kept it close, and tolde no man in those dayes any of those thynges which they hadde seene.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass, about an eight days after those sayings,.... About a week after he had declared the above things, at, or near to Caesarea Philippi. The other evangelists, Matthew and Mark, say it was six days after: the reason of this difference is, because Luke takes in the day in which he delivered these sayings, and that in which he was transfigured, and they only reckon the intermediate days:

he took Peter, and John, and James; the same that he admitted to be with him at the raising of Jairus's daughter, and in the garden afterwards:

and went up into a mountain to pray; to his God and Father, that his disciples might have a visible display of his glory, as an emblem and pledge of that in which he shall hereafter appear: it was usual with Christ to go up into a mountain to pray; Matthew 14:23.

Matthew 14:23- :.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See an account of the transfiguration in Matthew 17:1-13, and Mark 9:2-13.

Luke 9:29

The fashion - The “appearance.”

Glistering - Shining like lightning - of a bright, dazzling whiteness. As Mark says, “more white than any fuller could make it.”

Luke 9:31

In glory - Of a glorious appearance. Of an appearance like that which the saints have in heaven.

His decease - literally, his “exit” or “departure.” The word translated here “decease” - that is, exit, or “going out” - is elsewhere used to denote death. See 2 Peter 1:15. Death is a departure or going out from this life. In “this” word there may be an allusion to the “departure” of the children of Israel from Egypt. As that was going out from “bondage,” pain, and humiliation, so death, to a saint, is but going forth from a land of captivity and thraldom to one of plenty and freedom; to the land of promise, the Canaan in the skies.

He should accomplish - Which was about to take place.

Luke 9:32

Heavy with sleep - Borne down with sleep - oppressed, overcome with sleep. It may seem remarkable that they should fall asleep on such an occasion; but we are to bear in mind that this may have been in the night, and that they were weary with the toils of the day. Besides, they did not “fall asleep” while the transfiguration lasted. While Jesus was praying, or perhaps after he closed, they fell asleep. “While” they were sleeping his countenance was changed, and Moses and Elias appeared. The first that “they” saw of it was after they awoke, having been probably awakened by the shining of the light around them.

Luke 9:36

Jesus was found alone - That is, the two men had left him. In respect to “them” he was alone.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 28. About an eight days after — See the whole of this important transaction explained at large on Matthew 17:1-13.
