Contextual Overview
1 AND he said to them, Truly I say to you, that there are men standing here, who shall not taste death, till they see that the kingdom of God has come with power. 2 And six days after, Jesus took Peter, and James, and John, and brought them up to a high mountain alone; and he was transfigured before their eyes. 3 His clothes shone, and became white like snow, in such a manner that men on earth cannot make white. 4 And there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus. 5 And Peter said to him, Teacher, it is better for us to remain here; and let us make three shelters, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. 6 For he did not know what he was saying, for they were in fear. 7 And there was a cloud overshadowing them, and a voice out of the cloud said, This is my beloved Son; hear him. 8 And suddenly, when the disciples looked around, they saw no man, except Jesus alone with them. 9 And as they came down from the mountain, he commanded them not to tell any man what they had seen, until the Son of man has risen from the dead. 10 So they kept that saying to themselves, and they wanted to know what risen from the dead means.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For he wist not what to say,.... He did not know what he should say, or what was proper to be said by him, at such a time, in such circumstances, and before such persons;
for they were sore afraid. The Persic version reads, "he was": and so the Latin translation of the Syriac, though that itself is, "they were"; for all three were filled with consternation at what they saw and heard; so that they were scarcely themselves, and knew not well what they said or did.
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.
