Departed Departing Desire Forth Galilee Jesus Passed Passing Thence Unwilling Want
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 Jesus' ministry. The context is after the Transfiguration and the healing of a demon-possessed boy. Jesus and His disciples are moving from one location to another, emphasizing the itinerant nature of His ministry. This movement is part of His journey towards Jerusalem, where His ultimate mission will be fulfilled.

they passed through Galilee
Galilee is a significant region in Jesus' ministry, often serving as the backdrop for His teachings and miracles. It was a diverse area with a mix of Jewish and Gentile populations, which reflects the inclusive nature of Jesus' message. Galilee's geography, with its hills and the Sea of Galilee, provided a natural setting for Jesus' teachings and gatherings. This passage through Galilee marks a shift from public ministry to more private instruction with His disciples.

But Jesus did not want anyone to know
This indicates Jesus' desire for privacy and focus on teaching His disciples. It reflects the "Messianic Secret," a theme in the Gospels where Jesus often instructs others not to reveal His identity or miracles. This secrecy allowed Him to control the timing and nature of His revelation as the Messiah. It also highlights the importance of preparing His disciples for the events to come, particularly His death and resurrection, without the interference of public expectation or misunderstanding.

Persons / Places / Events
1. Jesus
The central figure in this passage, Jesus is the teacher and leader of the disciples, imparting crucial lessons about His mission and the Kingdom of God.

2. Disciples
The followers of Jesus who are traveling with Him. They are in a period of learning and preparation for their future roles in spreading the Gospel.

3. Galilee
A region in ancient Israel where much of Jesus' ministry took place. It is significant as a place of teaching and miracles.

4. Journey
The movement from one place to another, symbolizing the transition in Jesus' ministry towards His ultimate purpose in Jerusalem.
Teaching Points
The Importance of Privacy in Ministry
Jesus often sought solitude or privacy to teach His disciples. This underscores the need for focused, intimate times of learning and reflection in our spiritual lives.

Understanding Jesus' Mission
Jesus' deliberate movement through Galilee without public attention highlights the importance of understanding His mission beyond the miracles and public ministry. It calls us to seek deeper comprehension of His purpose and sacrifice.

Preparation for Future Challenges
The journey through Galilee represents a time of preparation for the disciples. Similarly, we must be prepared for the challenges and responsibilities of our faith journey.

The Role of Discipleship
The disciples' journey with Jesus is a model for our own discipleship. It involves learning, growing, and sometimes not fully understanding, yet continuing to follow and trust in Jesus.(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.
