Context of Mark 9:2
1And he said to them, Verily I say to you, That there are some of them that stand here, who shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up upon an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them. 3And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can make them white. 4And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 2-8This story is connected to 8:27–9:1 both chronologically (After six days) and thematically (9:7).
