Mark 9
1. Jesus is transfigured.
11. He instructs his disciples concerning the coming of Elijah;
14. casts forth a deaf and mute spirit;
30. foretells his death and resurrection;
33. exhorts his disciples to humility;
38. bidding them not to prohibit such as are not against them,
42. nor to give offense to any of the faithful.














(3) Shining.--Better, perhaps, glittering.

Exceeding white as snow.--The two last words are wanting in the best MSS. The comparison of the bright raiment with clothes that had just passed through the fuller's or bleacher's hands, is, in its homely vividness, peculiar to St. Mark.
