Markus 9:10

10 En zij behielden dit woord bij zichzelven, vragende onder elkander, wat het was, uit de doden opstaan.

Markus 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;

questioning with one other what the rising from the dead should
mean:
they inquired, disputed, and reasoned with one another, what should be the meaning of such an expression: not that they were ignorant of the general resurrection of the dead; for this was the hope of Israel, and the general sense of the Jewish nation: but they did not know what he meant by his particular rising from the dead: whether he meant it in a literal sense, which supposed his death; and that though he had lately told them of, they knew not how to reconcile to the notions they had of a long and flourishing temporal kingdom of the Messiah; or whether he meant a and interest, in such manner as they expected.

Markus 9:10 In-Context

8 En haastelijk rondom ziende, zagen zij niemand meer, dan Jezus alleen bij zich.

9 En als zij van den berg afkwamen, gebood Hij hun, dat zij niemand verhalen zouden, hetgeen zij gezien hadden, dan wanneer de Zoon des mensen uit de doden zou opgestaan zijn.

10 En zij behielden dit woord bij zichzelven, vragende onder elkander, wat het was, uit de doden opstaan.

11 En zij vraagden Hem, zeggende: Waarom zeggen de Schriftgeleerden, dat Elias eerst komen moet?

12 En Hij, antwoordende, zeide tot hen: Elias zal wel eerst komen, en alles wederoprichten; en het zal geschieden, gelijk geschreven is van den Zoon des mensen, dat Hij veel lijden zal en veracht worden.
