Contextual Overview
1And Jesus was saying to them, "Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God having come in power." 2And six days later, Jesus *took with Him Peter and James and John, and *brought them up on a high mountain alone by themselves. And He was transfigured before them; 3and His garments were shining intensely white, as no launderer on earth can whiten them. 4And Elijah appeared to them along with Moses and they were conversing with Jesus. 5And Peter answered and *said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three booths, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah." 6For he did not know what to answer; for they became terrified. 7Then a cloud formed, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is My beloved Son, listen to Him!" 8And all at once when they looked around, they saw no one with them anymore, except Jesus alone. 9And as they were coming down from the mountain, He gave them orders not to recount to anyone what they had seen, until the Son of Man rose from the dead. 10And they seized upon that statement, arguing with one another what rising from the dead meant.

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.
