Luke 9:29

“And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, etc.] It became exceeding bright and glorious, it shone like the sun, (<401702>Matthew 17:2) and hereby his prayer was answered; and thus, as Christ was heard and answered, whilst he was yet speaking, so are his people sometimes; and even their countenance is altered, when they are favoured with communion with God, and instead of a sad and dejected countenance, they have a cheerful one. And his raiment was white and glistering; it was as white as the light, as snow, and whiter than any fuller on earth could whiten, as the other evangelists say, and so glistened exceedingly; (See Gill on “<401702>Matthew 17:2”).

As Mark says, “more white than any fuller could make it.” Luke 9:31 In glory - Of a glorious appearance. Of an appearance like that which the saints have in heaven. His decease - literally, his “exit” or “departure.” The word translated here “decease” - that is, exit, or “going out” - is elsewhere used to denote death. See 2 Peter 1:15. Death is a departure or going out from this life. In “this” word there may be an allusion to the “departure” of the children of Israel from Egypt. As that was going out from…”

“9:29 his clothes became dazzling white (literally became bright as a flash of lightning): Jesus’ glory shone through his human body (cp. Ezek 1:4; Dan 7:9; see also Exod 34:29).”
