Context of Luke 9:35

33And it came to pass, as they were parting from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: not knowing what he said. 34And while he said these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my Son, my chosen: hear ye him. 36And when the voice came, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no man in those days any of the things which they had seen. 37And it came to pass, on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.

In whom I am well pleased, or have delighted - is added by some very ancient MSS. Perhaps this addition is taken from Matthew 17:5.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 28-36Verses 28-36 See an account of the transfiguration in Matthew 17:1-13, and Mark 9:2-13. Luke 9:29 The fashion - The “appearance.” Glistering - Shining like lightning - of a bright, dazzling whiteness. As Mark says, “more white than any fuller could make it.” Luke 9:31 In glory - Of a glorious appearance. Of an appearance like that which the saints have in heaven. His decease - literally, his “exit” or “departure.” The word translated here “decease” - that…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 28-36Verses 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…Read the comment

Listen to Him!: This is from Deuteronomy 18:15, identifying Jesus as the prophet to come who would be like Moses (see Acts 3:22; 7:37).Read the comment
