Context of Matthew 17:9

7Jesus came up, touched them, and said, “Get up; don’t be afraid.” 8When they looked up they saw no one except Jesus alone. As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Don’t tell anyone about the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.” 10So the disciples asked him, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” 11“Elijah is coming and will restore everything,” he replied.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 9Tell the vision to no man - This vision was designed particularly to confirm them in the truth that he was the Messiah. While he was with them it was unnecessary that they should relate what they had seen. When he was crucified they would need this evidence that he was the Christ. Then they were to use it.
