Mark 9:1 - 9:13
Gospel of MarkSteve Gregg
In Mark 9:1-13, there are varying interpretations about the specific event Jesus predicts, with some seeing it as referring to the end of the world while others see it as related to events in AD 70. The transfiguration of Jesus on the mountain, where his disciples were given a glimpse of his glorified state and his fulfillment of the law and prophets, is seen as a significant moment revealing Jesus' divine authority. John the Baptist is seen as fulfilling the prophecy of Elijah's coming, and the suffering of John and the Messiah are connected due to their similar persecution.
