Listen to Him (mark 9aq)

Listen to him!

Mark 9:2-13

Key Verse 7 Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!”

1.      [2-3] When and whom did Jesus take with him and where? (2a) How was Jesus transfigured before the disciples? (2b-3) Why did Jesus offer to show all this to the disciples? (cf. 8:32-9:1)?

2.      [4] Who appeared there and what did they do? (4; Ref. Lk 9:31) Find what might be the significance of the appearance of Moses and Elijah along with Jesus (Mal 4:1-5-6). Discuss in what aspect, seeing this was out of the ordinary for the three (9:1).

6.      [11-13] What question did they ask Jesus? (11) Why? (cf. 4; Mal 4:5-6) What was Jesus’ answer? (12a,13a) What does the Scripture say about the Son of Man? (12b; cf. Isa 53:1-9) How did they treat Elijah? (13)  Why did Jesus say this?

7.      Discuss how Jesus’ transfiguration would have helped the three in their view of suffering, rejection, death, and resurrection.
