15 As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him.
15 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
15 And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed and ran up to him and greeted him.
15 As soon as the people in the crowd saw Jesus, admiring excitement stirred them. They ran and greeted him.
15 Immediately, when they saw Him, all the people were greatly amazed, and running to Him, greeted Him.
15 When the crowd saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with awe, and they ran to greet him.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 9:15
Commentary on Mark 9:14-29
(Read Mark 9:14-29)
The father of the suffering youth reflected on the want of power in the disciples; but Christ will have him reckon the disappointment to the want of faith. Very much is promised to our believing. If thou canst believe, it is possible that thy hard heart may be softened, thy spiritual diseases may be cured; and, weak as thou art, thou mayest be able to hold out to the end. Those that complain of unbelief, must look up to Christ for grace to help them against it, and his grace will be sufficient for them. Whom Christ cures, he cures effectually. But Satan is unwilling to be driven from those that have been long his slaves, and, when he cannot deceive or destroy the sinner, he will cause him all the terror that he can. The disciples must not think to do their work always with the same ease; some services call for more than ordinary pains.
