Charles Ellicott Commentary Mark 9:3

"and his garments became glistering, exceeding white, so as no fuller on earth can whiten them." — Mark 9:3 (ASV)

Shining.—Better, perhaps, glittering.

Exceeding white as snow.—The last two words are lacking in the best manuscripts. The comparison of the bright garments with clothes that had just passed through the fuller’s or bleacher’s hands is, in its simple vividness, characteristic of St. Mark.
