Contextual Overview

¹ I declare unto you, said he, that some of you here present shall not die, till they see the kingdom of the Messiah usher'd in with power. ² Six days after Jesus took Peter, James and John, and accompanied them up a high mountain in private; and was transfigured in their presence. ³ his raiment was of an exceeding bright whiteness, like that of snow, and such as no fuller upon earth could imitate. ⁴ Moses and Elias likewise appear'd, and were in conference with Jesus. ⁵ then Peter thus address'd himself to Jesus, master, it is proper for us to be here: let us make therefore three tabernacles, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elias. ⁶ for he knew not what he said, they were all so frightned. ⁷ then a cloud surrounded them, and a voice from the cloud, said, "this is my beloved son, hear him." ⁸ and instantly looking round about, they did not see any other person but Jesus with them. ⁹ as they were going down the mountain, he order'd them not to tell any body what they had seen, till the son of man was raised from the dead: ¹⁰ an expression which they dwelt upon, asking one another the meaning of "till he was raised from the dead."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And there was a cloud that overshadowed them,.... Jesus, Moses, and Elias, and also the disciples; who, according to Luke, entered into it, and so were covered by it.

And a voice came out the cloud, saying, this is my beloved Son, hear him. This was the voice of God the Father, bearing a testimony to the sonship of Christ; and was directed, not to Moses and Elias, but to the disciples, enjoining them to hear and obey him, who was the end of the law and prophets; was the great prophet Moses had spoken of, and was to be hearkened to, and whom all the prophets had testified of, and in whom they all centred; :-.

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.
