Mark 9:1

Mark 9:1. And he said unto them The opening verse of the Ninth Chapter connects closely with what goes before.

Verily I say unto you This well-known formula occurs 13 times in St Mark, 31 times in St Matthew, 7 times in St Luke, 25 times in St John. It always introduces solemn and important announcements.

the kingdom of God On this expression see above, ch. Mark 1:15. Of those then standing with the Lord, three six days afterwards beheld Him transfigured; all, save one, were witnesses of His resurrection; one at least, St John, survived the capture of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple, and on each of these occasions "the kingdom of God" came "with power."
