Jesus ordered him not to say a word to anybody, but to "Go off and show yourself to the priest, and offer whatever Moses prescribed for your cleansing, to notify men."

There were two men conversing with him, Moses and Elijah,

When they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is a good thing we are here; let us put up three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah" (not knowing what he was saying).

'They have got Moses and the prophets,' said Abraham, 'they can listen to them.'

He said to him, 'If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced, not even if one rose from the dead."

"Teacher," they said, "Moses has written this law for us, that if a man's married brother dies and is childless, his brother is to take the woman and raise offspring for his brother.

And that the dead are raised has been indicated by Moses in the passage on the Bush, when he calls the Lord 'God of Abraham and God of Isaac and God of Jacob.'

Then he began with Moses and all the prophets and interpreted to them the passages referring to himself throughout the scriptures.

Then he said to them, "When I was still with you, this is what I told you, that whatever is written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled."
