Marcos 9:10 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 9:10

And they kept that saying with themselves
"They retained it in their own mind", as the Persic version renders it; "they kept [it] close", as Luke says, ( Luke 9:36 ) , among themselves, and acquainted no man with it: and which refers either to the whole of Christ's charge, relating to the vision on the mount; or else only to what he said about his resurrection from the dead; and which they took notice of particularly, and laid hold upon, as the word will bear to be rendered; and so the Ethiopic version does render it, "and they observed his saying"; what he last said concerning the son of man's rising from the dead;

11 Entonces le preguntaron:
—¿Por qué los maestros de la ley religiosa insisten en que Elías debe regresar antes de que venga el Mesías?

12 Jesús contestó:
