<< Mark 9:2

Mark 9:4 >>

Mark 9:3

Glistering, exceeding white (stilbonta leuka lian). Old words, all of them. Matthew 17:2 has

white as the light (leuka wv to fwv), Luke 9:29 "white and dazzling" (leukov ecastraptwn) like lightning.

So as no fuller on earth can whiten them (oia gnafeuv epi thv ghv ou dunatai outwv leukanai). Gnafw is an old word to card wool. Note outwv, so, so white. Some manuscripts in Matthew add wv xiwn, as snow. Probably the snow-capped summit of Hermon was visible on this very night. See on Matthew 17:2 for "transfigured."
