Luke 9:32

But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him. BUT PETER AND THEY THAT WERE WITH HIM WERE HEAVY WITH SLEEP: AND WHEN THEY WERE AWAKE, [ diagreegoreesantes (G1235) de (G1161)]. So certainly mint interpreters Understand the expression. But as the word signifies, not 'to awake,' but 'to keep awake,' which agrees much better with the manifest intention of the Evangelist, we should either, with Meyer and Alford, render the words, 'but having kept, awake,' or, better still perhaps, with Olshausen, 'having roused themselves up,' or shaken off their drowsiness. From Luke 8:37 it would appear that this Transfiguration...

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 have to pray to God for quickening grace, to make us lively! Yet that the disciples might be witnesses of this sign from heaven, after awhile they became awake, so that they were able to give a full account of what passed. But those know not what they say, that talk of making tabernacles on earth for glorified saints in heaven....

See an account of the transfiguration in Matthew 17:1, and Mark 9:2. 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 is, exit, o

EXPOSITION LUKE 9:1 _The Master sends out the twelve on a mission_. LUKE 9:1 THEN HE CALLED HIS TWELVE DISCIPLES TOGETHER. The Galilee ministry was just over; _outwardly_ it had been a triumphant success; vast crowds had been gathered together. The Master was generally welcomed with a positive enthusiasm; the people heard him gladly. Here and there were visible, as in the eases of the woman who touched him and the synagogue ruler who prayed him to heal his little daughter, just related (Luke 8:1.), conspicuous examples of a strange or mighty faith; but the success, the Master knew too well, was only on the surface. The crowds who to-day shouted "Ho

BUT PETER, AND THEY THAT WERE WITH HIM,.... The other two disciples, James and John; WERE HEAVY WITH SLEEP; as they afterwards were in the garden, while Christ was praying, as he had been now; being weary with the labours of the day past, and it being now night, as is very probable, since that was an usual time Christ spent in prayer: AND WHEN THEY WERE AWAKE, The Syriac version reads, "scarcely awake"; they were so heavy with sleep, that it was with difficulty they were awaked out of it, even by the rays of light and glory that were about them. The Ethiopic version adds, "suddenly"; such a lustre darted from these glorious forms, especially from the body of Christ, as at once surprised them out of their sleep; and being thoroughly awake, THEY SAW HIS GLORY; the brightness of his countenance, and the whiteness of his raiment: and the two men that stood with him: Moses and Elias, and t...

THE TRANSFIGURATION (Mark 9:2 *, Matthew 17:1 *). Again Jesus is pictured as praying. The theme of His conversation with Moses and Elijah is given, viz. His decease (lit., exodus; significant in connexion with Moses) at Jerusalem. In Luke 9:32 text is better than _mg._ The pronouns in Luke 9:34 are ambiguous: them and the second they may mean Jesus, Moses and Elijah. In Luke 9:36 follow _mg._ Lk. omits the discussion concerning Elijah....
