Contextual Overview
1 Then Jesus said, "Believe me when I say that some of you people standing here will see God's kingdom come with power before you die." 2 Six days later, Jesus took Peter, James, and John and went up on a high mountain. They were all alone there. While these followers watched him, Jesus was changed. 3 His clothes became shining white—whiter than anyone on earth could make them. 4 Then two men were there talking with Jesus. They were Elijah and Moses. 5 Peter said to Jesus, "Teacher, it is good that we are here. We will put three tents here—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." 6 Peter did not know what to say, because he and the other two followers were so afraid. 7 Then a cloud came and covered them. A voice came from the cloud and said, "This is my Son, the one I love. Obey him!" 8 The followers looked, but they saw only Jesus there alone with them. 9 As Jesus and the followers were walking back down the mountain, he gave them these instructions: "Don't tell anyone about what you saw on the mountain. Wait until after the Son of Man rises from death. Then you can tell people what you saw." 10 So the followers waited to say anything about what they saw. But they discussed among themselves what Jesus meant about rising from death.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And after six days,.... Six days after this discourse with his disciples, in their way to Caesarea Philippi, and after they were come into those parts:
Jesus taketh with him Peter, James, and John; favourite disciples, and a sufficient number, to be witnesses of his transfiguration:
and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves; where he and they were alone. This was not Mount Tabor, as is generally said, but either the mountain which Caesarea was at the foot of, or it may be Mount Lebanon; :-;
and he was transfigured before them; the above three disciples;

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.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Mark 9:2. And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, c.] For a full account of the nature and design of the transfiguration, Matthew 17:1, c.
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 Cesarea 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.
