Marcos 9:15 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 9:15

And straightway all the people, when they beheld him
As soon as ever they saw him, to many of whom, especially those that followed him out of Galilee, he was personally known.

Were greatly amazed;
either that he should come at that juncture, to assist and relieve his disciples, when the Scribes were triumphing over them, as some think; or rather, as others, on account of that remaining lustre and glory which was on his countenance, through his transfiguration, and not yet wholly gone off; like that which was on the face of Moses, when he came down from Mount Sinai:

and running to him, saluted him;
wishing him all peace and prosperity, expressing their great joy at his coming to them; which was very desirable by them, and exceedingly pleasing to them, and especially at this time, as both their words and gesture showed.

Marcos 9:15 In-Context

13 Pues bien, les digo que Elías ya ha venido, y le hicieron todo lo que quisieron, tal como está escrito de él.

14 Cuando llegaron adonde estaban los otros discípulos, vieron que a su alrededor había mucha gente y que los maestros de la ley discutían con ellos.

15 Tan pronto como la gente vio a Jesús, todos se sorprendieron y corrieron a saludarlo.

16 —¿Qué están discutiendo con ellos? —les preguntó.

17 —Maestro —respondió un hombre de entre la multitud—, te he traído a mi hijo, pues está poseído por un espíritu que le ha quitado el habla.
