∙ 13y agoJesus took Peter, James and John up into a high mountain, where his appearance changed, and they saw him talking to Moses and Elijah. Most scholars say that the historical events ascribed to Moses never occurred and it is therefore most unlikely that Moses ever existed. Similarly, it is quite improbable that Elijah ever existed. Yet, somehow, the disciples knew without question that the strangers talking to Jesus were Moses and Elijah.
Read literally, the sole reason for this journey was to let the three disciples see Jesus talking to Moses and Elijah. Yet they learnt nothing from the experience and were even instructed to tell no one. In spite of this life-changing event, and its absolute proof that Jesus was the Messiah, Peter went on to deny Jesus. All this leads to the reasonable conclusion that either Peter, James and John were not really witnesses to the Transfiguration, or that it did not really happen.

Read literally, the sole reason for this journey was to let the three disciples see Jesus talking to Moses and Elijah, yet they learnt nothing from the experience and were even instructed to tell no one. In spite of this life-changing event, and the absolute proof the presence of Moses and Elijah would provide that Jesus was the Messiah, Peter went on to deny Jesus. If the Transfiguration ever happened, it must be that the disciples were less sure of who the strangers were than is suggested in the gospel story.

What are the names of the persons who appeared to Jesus on the mount?
A:In the story of the Transfiguration, Jesus took Peter, James and John up into a high mountain, where his appearance changed, and they saw him talking to two strangers. Somehow, the disciples knew without question that the strangers talking to Jesus were Moses and Elijah. In spite of this life-changing event, and its absolute proof that Jesus was the Messiah, Peter went on to deny Jesus. If the Transfiguration ever happened, it must be that the disciples were less sure of who the strangers were than is suggested in the gospel story. Why they even thought the men were Moses and Elijah is not stated.Read literally, the sole reason for this journey was to let the three disciples see Jesus talking to Moses and Elijah, yet they learnt nothing from the experience and were even instructed to tell no one. The names of these individuals and the fact of the Transfiguration thus remained unknown to the world at large for some forty years, until the first gospel, now known as Mark's Gospel, was written. The anonymous author provides no information on how he had such detailed knowledge of this secret event, but because of his account we know that the individuals were Moses and Elijah.
