Mark 9:8 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 9:8

And suddenly, when they had looked round about
Upon hearing the voice, to see if they could observe any other object, by whom it was pronounced, and whether the same they had seen continued:

they saw no man any more;
neither Moses, nor Elias, not at that time, nor ever after;

save Jesus only with themselves:
the voice only regarded him, and being directed to them; (See Gill on Matthew 17:8).

Mark 9:8 In-Context

6 Peter did not know what to say, because he and the others were so frightened.

7 Then a cloud came and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!"

8 Suddenly Peter, James, and John looked around, but they saw only Jesus there alone with them.

9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone about what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

10 So the followers obeyed Jesus, but they discussed what he meant about rising from the dead.
