MARK CHAPTER 9



Mar_9:2-10 The transfiguration of Christ.

Mar_9:11-13 He instructs his disciples concerning the coming of Elias.

Mar_9:14-29 He casteth out a dumb and deaf spirit.

Mar_9:30-32 He foretells his own death and resurrection,

Mar_9:33-37 checks the ambition of his disciples,

Mar_9:38-50 bidding them to hinder no one from working miracles in

his name, and warning them to avoid offences.



To taste of death, is the same with to die, or to begin to die, or to experience death: compare with this text Psa_34:8 Luk_14:24 Joh_8:52 Heb_2:9 6:4,5 1Pe_2:3.



Till they have seen the kingdom of God come: our evangelist addeth, with power. It cannot be meant of the day of judgment, unless in the type of it, which was in the destruction of Jerusalem, (of which many understand it), for some of the apostles, more doubtless of Christ’s disciples, outlived the fatal ruin of that once famous city. Others understand here by the kingdom of God Christ’s resurrection from the dead, when Christ’s kingdom began to be fully made known, Act_10:42.
