Mark 9:2 - Adam Clarke

Mark 9:2

1 And He said to them, ^a“Assuredly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death till they see ^bthe kingdom of God present with power.”

Jesus Transfigured on the Mount

2 ^aNow after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transfigured before them.

3 His clothes became shining, exceedingly ^awhite, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.

4 And Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.

5 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—

6 because he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid.

7 And a ^acloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is ^bMy beloved Son. ^cHear Him!”

8 Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves.

9 ^aNow as they came down from the mountain, He commanded them that they should tell no one the things they had seen, till the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

10 So they kept this word to themselves, questioning ^awhat the rising from the dead meant.

Mark 9:2

And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, etc. - For a full account of the nature and design of the transfiguration, see on Matthew 17:1 (note), etc.

A high mountain - I have conjectured, Matthew 17:1, that this was one of the mountains of Galilee: some say Hermon, some Tabor; but Dr. Lightfoot thinks a mountain near Caesarea Philippi to be more likely.

Was transfigured - Four good MSS. and Origen add here, And While They Were Praying he was transfigured; but this appears to be added from Luke 9:29.
