Mark 9:4 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 9:4

And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses
Or Moses and Elias, as all the Oriental versions read, as in Mt. 17:3, (See Gill on Matthew 17:3):

and they were talking with Jesus;
concerning his decease, and what he was to do and suffer at Jerusalem, and of which he himself had lately talked with his disciples; so that this might have been a confirmation of these things to them; (See Gill on Matthew 17:3).

Mark 9:4 In-Context

2 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them,

3 and his garments became glistening, intensely white, as no fuller on earth could bleach them.

4 And there appeared to them Eli'jah with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus.

5 And Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli'jah."

6 For he did not know what to say, for they were exceedingly afraid.
