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 And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son; listen to him. ”

8 And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only.

9 And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

10 So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what this rising from the dead might mean.

11 And they asked him, “Why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come? ”
