How does the transfiguration of Jesus relate to the experiences of both Moses and Elijah?
To fully appreciate the story of the Transfiguration and the way this compares Jesus to Moses receiving the Ten Commandments, we also need to look at the baptism of Jesus, the forty days Jesus spent in the wilderness, and then the story of the Transfiguration, because they are linked across the parallel structure of Mark's Gospel, where these accounts first appeared.
The baptism of Jesus (Mark 1:9), mirrored by the Transfiguration (9:2-3), is followed by the voice of God from heaven, just as the Transfiguration is followed by the voice of God from heaven. The forty days in the wilderness is an allusion to Elijah and Moses, thus mirroring their appearance at the Transfiguration. The Transfiguration is a far greater story than that of Moses on Mt Sinai, where Moses received the Law from God, because it shows Jesus as the successor to Moses and Elijah, here to give the new Law and fulfil the commandments. Elijah and Moses are present to give witness to this, and the voice of God, calling Jesus his beloved son, confirms it. This is where the earlier accounts come in, because they reinforce and emphasise the message at the Transfiguration. This is shown graphically in the list below, based on the structure of Mark, with three related events, B, C and D, reinforcing the message from events B',C' and D':A .
