Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 9:31

Commentary on Luke 9:28-36

(Read Luke 9:28-36)

Christ's transfiguration was a specimen of that glory in which he will come to judge the world; and was an encouragement to his disciples to suffer for him. Prayer is a transfiguring, transforming duty, which makes the face to shine. Our Lord Jesus, even in his transfiguration, was willing to speak concerning his death and sufferings. In our greatest glories on earth, let us remember that in this world we have no continuing city. What need we have to pray to God for quickening grace, to make us lively! Yet that the disciples might be witnesses of this sign from heaven, after awhile they became awake, so that they were able to give a full account of what passed. But those know not what they say, that talk of making tabernacles on earth for glorified saints in heaven.

15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.

15 And so I am especially eager that you have all this down in black and white so that after I die, you'll have it for ready reference.

New King James Version

15 Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my decease.

New Living Translation

15 so I will work hard to make sure you always remember these things after I am gone.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Peter 1:15

Commentary on 2 Peter 1:12-15

(Read 2 Peter 1:12-15)

We must be established in the belief of the truth, that we may not be shaken by every wind of doctrine; and especially in the truth necessary for us to know in our day, what belongs to our peace, and what is opposed in our time. The body is but a tabernacle, or tent, of the soul. It is a mean and movable dwelling. The nearness of death makes the apostle diligent in the business of life. Nothing can so give composure in the prospect, or in the hour, of death, as to know that we have faithfully and simply followed the Lord Jesus, and sought his glory. Those who fear the Lord, talk of his loving-kindness. This is the way to spread the knowledge of the Lord; and by the written word, they are enabled to do this.
