Mark 9:9 - Barnes' Notes

Mark 9:9

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.

11 And they asked Him, saying, “Why do the scribes say ^athat Elijah must come first?”

12 Then He answered and told them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming first and restores all things. And ^ahow is it written concerning the Son of Man, that He must suffer many things and ^bbe treated with contempt?
