Mar 9:2 | TNotes | STEP | Summary for Mark 9:2-8: 9:2-8 This account is tied to 8:27–9:1 both chronologically ( six days later ) and thematically (9:7 ). • The presence of Peter, James, and John (see also 5:37 ; 13:3 ; 14:33 ) might be the fulfillment of 9:1 (“some standing here”). Some interpreters believe that the pre-incarnate glory of the Son of God broke through the veil of his humanity (John 1:14 ; 17:5 ) at the transfiguration. It is more likely that this event was an advance glimpse of the Son of Man’s future glory (see Matt 16:28 ; 2 Pet 1:16-18 ; cp. Exod 34:28-35 ; 2 Cor 3:7-18 ).
