Contextual Overview
1 Matthew 16:28-17:13; Luke 9:27-36; 2 Peter 1:16-18">[xr] And He said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God present with power." 2 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. 3 His clothes became shining, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them. 4 And Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"-- 6 because he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid. 7 And a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!" 8 Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves. 9 Now as they came down from the mountain, He commanded them that they should tell no one the things they had seen, till the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 So they kept this word to themselves, questioning what the 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; :-;

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.
