The Transfiguration of Jesus is recorded in the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew 17:1-9, Mark 9:2-8, Luke 9:28-36), which, as you mentioned in your question, involved the appearance of Elijah and Moses with Jesus. As for where it occured, Christian tradition says it took place on Mount Tabor. More recent scholars suggest that the "high mountain" mentioned in the passage could have been Mount Hermon or Mount Nebo.
Elijah and Moses
Moses and Elijah
Jesus was on the hill with a few disciples and Moses and Elijah were there as well.
The question is not clear, who appeared when? It was the Angels at the tomb and Moses and Elijah on the mountain.
During the Transfiguration of Jesus, Moses appeared alongside Elijah. This event, described in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, took place on a mountain where Jesus was transfigured, revealing his divine glory. Moses represents the Law, while Elijah represents the prophets, symbolizing the fulfillment of both in Jesus.
A:Jesus took Peter, James and John up into a high mountain, where his appearance changed, and they saw him talking to two strangers.

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.
Jesus and Moses were not contemporaries, although Moses did appear with Elijah to Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration. Jesus did give respect and credibility to Moses' writings and referred to the fact that Moses spoke about Him in His writings.
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 ...Matt17:3
On the Mount of Transfiguration, the Lord Jesus appeared in glory alongside Moses and Elijah. This event, described in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, revealed Jesus' divine nature and His fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets, represented by Moses and Elijah, respectively. The presence of these two significant figures from the Old Testament highlighted the continuity of Jesus' mission within the broader narrative of Scripture.
He moses could be dead , but we see in the new testament Moses and Elijah with Jesus, so as Elijah was taken to the heavens so Moses to could have been taken up as his grave is not found yet.
