10 They kept the matter to themselves, discussing what "rising from the dead" meant.
10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
10 So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what this rising from the dead might mean.
10 They puzzled over that, wondering what on earth "rising from the dead" meant.
10 So they kept this word to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant.
10 So they kept it to themselves, but they often asked each other what he meant by "rising from the dead."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 9:10
Commentary on Mark 9:1-13
(Read Mark 9:1-13)
Here is a prediction of the near approach Christ's kingdom. A glimpse of that kingdom was given in the transfiguration of Christ. It is good to be away from the world, and alone with Christ: and how good to be with Christ glorified in heaven with all the saints! But when it is well with us, we are apt not to care for others, and in the fulness of our enjoyments, we forget the many wants of our brethren. God owns Jesus, and accepts him as his beloved Son, and is ready to accept us in him. Therefore we must own and accept him as our beloved Saviour, and must give up ourselves to be ruled by him. Christ does not leave the soul, when joys and comforts leave it. Jesus explained to the disciples the prophecy about Elias. This was very suitable to the ill usage of John Baptist.
