Mark 9:8 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 9:8

And suddenly, when they had looked round about

they saw no man any more;
neither Moses, nor Elias, not at that time, nor ever after;

save Jesus only with themselves:
the voice only regarded him, and being directed to them; (See Gill on Matthew 17:8).

9 As they were coming down the mountain, he ordered them not to tell anyone what they had seen until after the Human One had risen from the dead.
