Mark 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.

28 And when he was come into the housse his disciples axed him secretly: why coulde not we caste him out?
29 And he sayde vnto them: this kynde can by no nother meanes come forth but by prayer and fastynge.
30 And they departed thens and toke their iorney thorow Galile and he wolde not that eny man shuld have knowen it.
31 For he taught his disciples and sayde vnto them: The sonne of man shalbe delyvered into ye hondes of men and they shall kyll him and after that he is kylled he shall aryse agayne the thryd daye.
32 But they wiste not what that sayinge meat and were affrayed to axe him.
