His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them.
Read Mark 9:3 Using Other Translations
And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
and his clothes became radiant, intensely white, as no one on earth could bleach them.
and his clothes became dazzling white, far whiter than any earthly bleach could ever make them.
What does Mark 9:3 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Mark 9:3
And his raiment became shining
With the rays of glory and brightness which darted from his body
through his clothes, and made them as bright as the light of the
sun at noon day: and
exceeding white as snow;
than which nothing is whiter;
so as no fuller on earth can white them.
The Syriac version renders it, "as men cannot white on earth";
and the Persic thus, "so as men could not behold him". Just as
the Israelites could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses,
because of the glory of his countenance, when he came down from
the mount; (See Gill on Matthew
17:2).
