Markus 9:30

30 En van daar weggaande, reisden zij door Galilea; en Hij wilde niet, dat het iemand wist.

Markus 9:30 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 9:30

And they departed thence
From the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, from that part of the country where the mountain was, on which Christ was transfigured, and at the foot of which the above miracle was wrought. This is to be understood of Christ and his twelve disciples, though the Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions read in the singular number, "he went out"; not alone, but with his disciples, as the following account shows:

and passed through Galilee;
in order to go to the coasts of Judea, and so to Jerusalem, where he was shortly to suffer: and therefore that his journey might not be retarded, and he be hindered by the conversation of the people in Galilee, and their importunity to stay with them, and teach, and work miracles among them, he passed through the country, in as private a manner as could be:

and he would not that any man should know it;
partly for the reason just mentioned, and partly that he might have the opportunity of conversing alone with his disciples, and of reminding, and informing them, of some important things, which it was necessary they should be acquainted with, and observe.

Markus 9:30 In-Context

28 En als Hij in huis gegaan was, vraagden Hem Zijn discipelen alleen: Waarom hebben wij hem niet kunnen uitwerpen?

29 En Hij zeide tot hen: Dit geslacht kan nergens door uitgaan, dan door bidden en vasten.

30 En van daar weggaande, reisden zij door Galilea; en Hij wilde niet, dat het iemand wist.

31 Want Hij leerde Zijn discipelen, en zeide tot hen: De Zoon des mensen zal overgeleverd worden in de handen der mensen, en zij zullen Hem doden, en gedood zijnde, zal Hij ten derden dage wederopstaan.

32 Maar zij verstonden dat woord niet, en zij vreesden Hem te vragen.
