During the Transfiguration of Jesus, which is described in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, Moses and Elijah appeared alongside Him. Moses represents the Law, while Elijah symbolizes the prophets, together affirming Jesus' fulfillment of the Old Testament. This event highlights Jesus' divine authority and the continuity between the Old and New Testaments.
Moses and Elijah
A: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. Why the disciples even thought the men were Moses and Elijah is not stated.
Moses & Elijah(Luke 9:28-31) 28 In actual fact, about eight days after these words, he took Peter and John and James along and climbed up into the mountain to pray. 29 And as he was praying the appearance of his face became different and his apparel became glitteringly white. 30 Also, look! two men were conversing with him, who were Moses and E·li′jah. 31 These appeared with glory and began talking about his departure that he was destined to fulfill at Jerusalem.See attached link for more information on the Transfiguration.
Jesus, Paul & Peter
Two names stand out, Lazrus and John the beloved.
"Testament" is usually used to divide the modern Bible into two parts - "pre-Jesus" and "post-Jesus". The Old Testament, or Tanach, was penned by many men, but is considered to be the Word of God. The first BOOK of the modern Bible (Genesis) is attributed to Moses.
A:Jesus took Peter, James and John up into a high mountain, where his appearance changed, and they saw him talking to two strangers and heard the voice of God. Somehow, the disciples knew without question that the strangers talking to Jesus were Moses and Elijah.
A: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. However, the Transfiguration certainly does not seem to have explained anything that the disciples understood or removed any confusion they might have felt. 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.
A:In Luke's genealogy, 77 men are all listed by name. In the list, there are 3 men called Joseph, in addition to the New Testament Joseph himself.
The Gospels, the books in the New Testament, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, tell the story of Jesus and the brave men and women that left everything to follow him. As you progress through the next books of the New Testament, it tells how these people spread the good word of Jesus Christ and the price they paid for their devotion to the Son of God.

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.
I am not sure of your question. If this does not answer your question please rephase it. There is only one New Testament in the Bible. The two main divisions in the Bible are the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old testament tells the story of the creation of the universe and then tells us about Abraham, the father of Israel and his off-spring. Then it goes through the history of Israel up to about 400 B.C. Through out the old testament we are told of prophecies of a coming Messiah. The New Testament starts out with the four Gospels of Jesus Christ, the Messiah that was told about in the Old Testament. A Testament is the same thing as a covenant. The Jews lived under the old covenant (Old Testament). Jesus Christ started the new covenant (New Testament.) A Testament: Hebrews 9:16- "For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives........" Jesus Christ shed His blood and died for the New Testament to come into force.
