Luke 9:35

And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. AND THERE CAME A VOICE OUT OF THE CLOUD - "such a voice," says Peter emphatically [ foonees (G5456) toiasde (G5107)]. "And this voice" he adds "we heard when we were with him in the holy mount" (2 Peter 1:17). There must have been something very unearthly and awe-striking in the sound, especially as the articulate vehicle of such a testimony to Christ, to be thus recalled. SAYING, THIS IS MY BELOVED SON - "in whom I am well pleased" (Matthew 17:5): HEAR HIM: Hear Him reverentiall...

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....

Verse 35. _THIS IS MY BELOVED SON_] Instead of ο αγαπητος, _the_ _beloved one_, some MSS. and versions have εκλεκτος, _the chosen_ _one_: and the _AEthiopic_ translator, as in several other cases, to be sure of the true reading, retains _both_. _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....

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

LUKE 9:35 evklelegme,noj {B} The original Lukan reading is undoubtedly evklelegme,noj, which occurs in a quasi-technical sense only here in the New Testament. The other readings, involving more usual expressions, are due to scribal assimilation (evklekto,j, Luke 23:35; avgaphto,j, Mark 9:7; Luke 3:22; avgaphto,j( evn w|- euvdo,khsa,...

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....
