Markus 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.

Markus 9:15 In-Context

13 Maar Ik zeg u, dat ook Elias gekomen is, en zij hebben hem gedaan al wat zij gewild hebben, gelijk van hem geschreven is.
14 En als Hij bij de discipelen gekomen was, zag Hij een grote schare rondom hen, en enige Schriftgeleerden met hen twistende.
15 En terstond de gehele schare Hem ziende, werd verbaasd, en toelopende groetten zij Hem.
16 En Hij vraagde den Schriftgeleerden: Wat twist gij met dezen?
17 En een uit de schare, antwoordende, zeide: Meester, ik heb mijn zoon tot U gebracht, die een stommen geest heeft.
