Charles Spurgeon Commentary Mark 9:8

"And suddenly looking round about, they saw no one any more, save Jesus only with themselves." — Mark 9:8 (ASV)

And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.

Unhappy, indeed, would they have been if they had looked around and seen no one but Moses, for little comfort could Moses bring. Or if, looking around, they had seen no one but Elijah, for the stern prophet of fire would have been but little consolation to them in their life struggles. But Moses may go, and Elijah may go.

Lawgiver and prophet may vanish. As long as Jesus Christ remains, it is enough. Jesus only is enough for all our wants—for all our desires.
