Mark 2:12

2:12 And immediately the man ¹  stood up, took his stretcher, and went out in front of them all. They were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

Mark 9:2

The Transfiguration

9:2 Six days later ²  Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John and led them alone up a high mountain privately. And he was transfigured before them, ³ 

[2:12]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the man who was healed) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:2]  ² tn Grk “And after six days.”

[9:2]  ³ sn In 1st century Judaism and in the NT, there was the belief that the righteous get new, glorified bodies in order to enter heaven (1 Cor 15:42-49; 2 Cor 5:1-10). This transformation means the righteous will share the glory of God. One recalls the way Moses shared the Lord’s glory after his visit to the mountain in Exod 34. So the disciples saw Jesus transfigured, and they were getting a sneak preview of the great glory that Jesus would have (only his glory is more inherent to him as one who shares in the rule of the kingdom).
