(9-13) And as they came down from the mountain.--See Notes on Matthew 17:9-13.Verse 9. - He charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, save when the Son of man should have risen again from the dead. They were not even to tell their fellow-disciples, lest it might cause vexation or envy that they had not been thus favored. The time of our Lord's resurrection would be a fitting opportunity for revealing this mystery; and then the disciples would understand and believe it, when, after his passion and death, which were an offense to them, they should see him rising in glory, of which event the Transfiguration was a type. For, by the Resurrection they would certainly know that Christ underwent the death of the cross, not by constraint, but of his own accord, and out of his great love for us. Mark 9:9 teaches that Jesus deliberately manages the revelation of His glory. The disciples must first witness the cross and resurrection; only then may they testify to the mountaintop splendor. Obedient silence, followed by Spirit-guided proclamation, guards God’s redemptive plan and ensures that when the story is told, it points unmistakably to the risen Son of Man.
