who were just departing from him, when Peter said to Jesus, master, it is best for us to stay here: let us build three apartments, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing well what he said.

but Abraham replied, they have Moses and the prophets, let them mind them.

Abraham replied, if they disregard Moses and the prophets, they will not believe any one, though he rose from the dead.
