Matthew 17:3 says: "...here appeared to them Moses and E‧li′jah, conversing with him."

Jesus told his apostles that he would 'die and be resurrected' (Mark 8:27-31), though he also promised that some of his disciples would "not taste death at all" until they had first seen "the Son of man coming in his kingdom" (Matthew 16:28; Mark 9:1) This promise was fulfilled a few days later when Peter, James, and John accompanied Jesus into "a lofty mountain" (Matthew 17:1; Mark 9:2; Luke 9:28) where, while praying, Jesus was transfigured into a spiritual being before them.

This was a 'vision' indicating that Jesus would do a work like Moses did, but greater; and also a work like that of Elijah, but in a larger way. It was there plainly manifested that Jesus was indeed the Son of God and the 'prophet greater than Moses' ; worthy of the title Messiah. (Deuteronomy 18:15-19; Acts 3:19-23)

Many have called this a dream, but Peter, James, and John would not logically all have had exactly the same dream. Jesus himself called what took place a "vision" (Matthew 17:9).

What does proverbs chapter 1 verse 17 mean?

In order to understand proverbs chapter 1 verse 17 you need to read a couple versus before it and a couple after it. The passage is warning us not to get mixed up with people are purposely hurting others. Verse 17 in the message bible says "No one robs a bank with everyone looking". Verse 19 says "When you grab all you can get, that's what happens: the more you get, the less you are." So the passage is basically saying that if you join men or women who are sinning you are taking away your pureness and setting yourself up for the consequences that they will have face.

What does the Christian Bible have to say regarding prescription pain medications?

In the book of Matthew chapter 9 verse 12 you can read "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick." This is also recorded in Mark chapter 2 verse 17 and also in Luke chapter 5 verse 31. In the book of Colossians chapter 4 verse 14 you can read of Luke being the beloved physician. With these passages you can see that the authority is given to see a doctor when physicaly sick. Now through the care of the doctor he or she may prescribe or give you some type of medication for your treatment. In the book of Proverbs chapter 31 and verse 6 you can read "Give strong drink to him that is perishing." In this verse we can see that the drink is used as a medication. In old times pills were not used as they are today.
