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.














Going on from there
This phrase indicates a transition in the narrative, suggesting movement and progression in Jesus' ministry. The Greek word used here, "ἐκεῖθεν" (ekeithen), implies a departure from a previous location, emphasizing the itinerant nature of Jesus' mission. This movement is symbolic of the journey of faith, where believers are called to move forward, leaving behind past experiences and stepping into new phases of spiritual growth.

they passed through Galilee
Galilee, a region in northern Israel, was a significant area for Jesus' ministry. The Greek word "διέρχονται" (dierchontai) means to pass through or travel across, indicating that Jesus and His disciples were on a purposeful journey. Galilee was known for its diverse population and was a fertile ground for Jesus' teachings and miracles. Historically, Galilee was a place of both Jewish and Gentile interaction, symbolizing the inclusive nature of Jesus' message.

But Jesus did not want anyone to know
This phrase highlights Jesus' desire for privacy and discretion at this point in His ministry. The Greek word "ἤθελεν" (ethelen) translates to "wanted" or "desired," showing Jesus' intentionality in keeping His movements concealed. This secrecy could be understood as a strategic move to avoid premature confrontation with authorities or to focus on intimate teaching moments with His disciples. It reflects the wisdom in knowing when to act publicly and when to retreat for preparation and instruction.

(30-32) And they departed thence.--See Notes on Matthew 17:22-23.

He would not that any man should know it.--We note St. Mark's addition, as showing that the apparent shrinking from publicity which had marked our Lord's action since the feeding of the Four Thousand still continued.

Verse 30. - This verse informs us that our Lord and his disciples now left the neighbourhood of Caesarea Philippi. Their route would be across the Jordan above the Sea of Galilee, and so by the usual track through Galilee down to Capernaum. Our Lord now wished for privacy, that he might farther instruct his disciples with regard to his sufferings and death.
