Mark 9:1

1 et post dies sex adsumit Iesus Petrum et Iacobum et Iohannem et ducit illos in montem excelsum seorsum solos et transfiguratus est coram ipsis

Mark 9:1 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 9:1

And he said unto them
Both to his disciples, and the multitude,

verily I say unto you, there be some of them that stand here;
that were then living, and upon the spot,

which shall not taste of death,
or die,

till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
When Jesus was declared both Lord and Christ, by the wonderful effusion of the Holy Spirit; the Gospel spread in the world both among Jews and Gentiles, in spite of all opposition, under the power and influence of the grace of God, to the conversion of thousands of souls; and that branch of Christ's regal power exerted in the destruction of the Jewish nation; (See Gill on Matthew 16:28). This verse properly belongs to the foregoing chapter, to which it is placed in the Vulgate Latin version; and so it concludes one in Matthew, and ought not to begin a new chapter.

Mark 9:1 In-Context

1 et post dies sex adsumit Iesus Petrum et Iacobum et Iohannem et ducit illos in montem excelsum seorsum solos et transfiguratus est coram ipsis

2 et vestimenta eius facta sunt splendentia candida nimis velut nix qualia fullo super terram non potest candida facere

3 et apparuit illis Helias cum Mose et erant loquentes cum Iesu

4 et respondens Petrus ait Iesu rabbi bonum est hic nos esse et faciamus tria tabernacula tibi unum et Mosi unum et Heliae unum

5 non enim sciebat quid diceret erant enim timore exterriti
