• {v.28-36} The personal profit of this passage is great, in that it reveals to us, in a very striking manner, the heavenly and glorious state. The saints are in the same glory as Jesus, they are with Him, they converse familiarly with Him, they converse on that which is nearest to His heart-on His sufferings and death....They are taught of the Father. His own affections for His Son are made known to them. Moses and Elias have borne testimony to Christ, and shall be glorified with Him; but Jesus now remains alone for the church....Observe also, for our position down here, that the Lord speaks as intimately of His death to His disciples on the earth as to Moses and Elias. These are not more intimate with Him than are Peter, James and John. Sweet and precious thought! And mark how thin a veil there is between us and what is heavenly. (“Luke 9” by J.N. Darby)
• In the transfiguration they saw the kingdom of God, since for that brief moment they were “eyewitnesses of His majesty” (2 Peter 1:16). (“Luke 9” by F.B. Hole)
