Mark 9:1
The TransfigurationThis section tells how Jesus gave his disciples a glimpse of his glory before his suffering. He predicted the coming of God’s kingdom with power and then took three of his disciples up a mountain, where he was transfigured before them. This event helped prepare the disciples for the difficult times ahead, showing them both the reality of Jesus’ glory and the importance of listening to him.v. 1: Jesus said that some standing with him would not die before they saw the kingdom of God come with power (Mark 9:1 a). This meant that God’s kingdom would soon be seen, especially after the destruction of the old Jewish order. Some of the disciples would witness these events in their lifetime (Matthew 24:34 b).
