Mark 9:9 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 9:9

And as they came down from the mountain
Christ and his three disciples, Peter, James, and John, whom he led up thither:

he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had
seen;
on the mount, as the transfiguration of himself, the persons of Moses and Elias, and the bright cloud from whence the voice came, which bore testimony of Christ's sonship: he ordered to keep the whole of this a secret from every man, even from their fellow disciples,

till the Son of man were risen from the dead;
(See Gill on Matthew 17:9).

Mark 9:9 In-Context

7 Then a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice spoke from the cloud, "This is my Son, whom I dearly love. Listen to him!"

8 Suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.

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.

10 So they kept it to themselves, wondering, "What's this ‘rising from the dead'?"

11 They asked Jesus, "Why do the legal experts say that Elijah must come first?"
