Contextual Overview

1 And he saide vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, that there be some of them that stande here, which shall not taste of death till they haue seene the kingdome of God come with power. 2 And sixe dayes after, Iesus taketh vnto him Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, and carieth them vp into an hie mountaine out of the way alone, and his shape was changed before them. 3 And his rayment did shine, and was very white, as snowe, so white as no fuller can make vpon the earth. 4 And there appeared vnto them Elias with Moses, and they were talking with Iesus. 5 Then Peter answered, and said to Iesus, Master, it is good for vs to be here: let vs make also three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 6 Yet hee knewe not what he saide: for they were afraide. 7 And there was a cloude that shadowed them, and a voyce came out of the cloude, saying, This is my beloued Sonne: heare him. 8 And suddenly they looked roud about, and sawe no more any man saue Iesus only with them. 9 And as they came downe from the mountaine, he charged them, that they should tell no man what they had seene, saue when the Sonne of man were risen from the dead againe. 10 So they kept that matter to themselues, and demaunded one of another, what the rising from the dead againe should meane?

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.
