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. If the Transfiguration ever happened, it must be that he was less sure of who the strangers were than is suggested in the gospel story. Why the disciples even thought the men were Moses and Elijah is not stated.
Jesus was on the hill with a few disciples and Moses and Elijah were there as well.

Moses and Elijah ...Matt17:3
AnswerJesus took Peter, James and John up into a high mountain, where his appearance changed, and they saw him talking to Moses and Elijah. It is reported that over 90 per cent of 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.
No actually Eli was a priest in the temple when Samuel was given as a baby boy in the temple by his mother.
The original New Testament account of the transfiguration is in Mark chapter 9. Jesus took Peter, James and John up into a high mountain, where his appearance changed and his garments became shining and as white as snow. The disciples saw him talking to Moses and Elijah. Mark's Gospel does not say in what way his appearance changed, but Matthew added that his face shone like the sun. The disciples somehow knew without question that the strangers talking to Jesus were Moses and Elijah and offered to build three tabernacles, one each for Jesus, 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 supposedly absolute proof that Jesus was the Messiah, Peter went on to deny Jesus.
The Transfiguration. This event is recounted in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, where Jesus appeared in radiant glory alongside Moses and Elijah. It confirmed his divine nature to his disciples Peter, James, and John.
AnswerAccording to Mark chapter 9, Peter, James and John witnessed the transfiguration of Jesus and saw him talking to Moses and Elias (Elijah). however, it seems they learnt nothing from the experience and were even instructed to tell no one. And, in spite of this life-changing event, and its supposedly absolute proof that Jesus was the Messiah, Peter went on to deny Jesus.
The question is not clear, who appeared when? It was the Angels at the tomb and Moses and Elijah on the mountain.
