Then Jesus told him, "See, you are not to say a word to anybody; away and show yourself to the priest and offer the gift prescribed by Moses, to notify men."

There appeared to them Moses and Elijah, who conversed with Jesus.

So Peter addressed Jesus and said, "Lord, it is a good thing we are here; pray let me put up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

They said to him, "Then why did Moses lay it down that we were to divorce by giving a separation-notice?"

He said to them, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives, on account of the hardness of your hearts, but it was not so from the beginning.

"Teacher, Moses said that if anyone dies without children, his brother is to espouse his wife and raise offspring for his brother.

"The scribes and Pharisees sit on the seat of Moses;

"See, you are not to say a word to anybody; away and show yourself to the priest and offer what Moses prescribed for your cleansing, to notify men."

Thus, Moses said, Honour your father and mother, and, He who curses his father or mother is to suffer death.

And Elijah along with Moses appeared to them, and conversed with Jesus.

So Peter addressed Jesus, saying, "Rabbi, it is a good thing we are here; let us put up three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"

So he replied, "What did Moses lay down for you?"

They said, "Moses permitted a man to divorce her by writing out a separation notice."

"Teacher," they said, "Moses has written this law for us, that if a man's brother dies leaving a wife but no child, his brother is to take the woman and raise offspring for his brother.

As for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, at the passage on the Bush, how God said to him, I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob?

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."

while the Law was given through Moses, grace and reality are ours through Jesus Christ.

he met Nathanael and told him, "We have found him whom Moses wrote about in the Law, and also the prophets ??it is Jesus, the son of Joseph, who comes from Nazaret."

Indeed the Son of man must be lifted on high, just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert,

Do not imagine I am going to accuse you to the Father; Moses is your accuser, Moses who is your hope!

For if you believed Moses you would believe me, since it was of me that he wrote.

Then said Jesus, "What Moses gave you was not the bread from heaven; it is my Father who gives you the real bread from heaven ??33 for the bread of God is what comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

Did not Moses give you the Law? ??and yet none of you honestly obeys the Law. Else, why do you want to kill me?"

Moses gave you the rite of circumcision (not that it came from Moses, it came from your ancestors), and you will circumcise a man upon the sabbath.

Well, if a man gets circumcised upon the sabbath, to avoid breaking the Law of Moses, are you enraged at me for curing, not cutting, the entire body of a man upon the sabbath?

Now Moses has commanded us in the Law to stone such creatures; but what do you say?"

Then they stormed at him: "You are his disciple, we are disciples of Moses!

We know God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this fellow comes from."

for Moses said, The Lord our God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brotherhood, as he raised me: you must listen to whatever he may tell you.

They then instigated people to say, "We have heard him talking blasphemy against Moses and God."

Why, we have heard him say that Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this Place and change the customs handed down to us by Moses!"

It was at this period that Moses was born, a divinely beautiful child. For three months he was brought up in his father's house;

So Moses was educated in all the culture of the Egyptians; he was a strong man in speech and action.

At that Moses fled; he became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he had two sons born to him.

When Moses saw this, he marvelled at the sight; and as he went up to look at it, the voice of the Lord said,

'I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.' Moses was so terrified that he did not dare to look at the bush.

The Moses they refused, when they said, 'Who made you ruler and umpire?' ??that was the very man whom God sent to rule and to redeem them, by aid of the angel who had appeared to him in the bush.

(This was the Moses who told the sons of Israel, 'God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brotherhood, as he raised me.')

They told Aaron, 'Make gods that will march in front of us! As for this Moses who led us out of Egypt, we don't know what has happened to him!'

In the desert our fathers had the tent of witness as arranged by Him who told Moses to make it after the pattern he had seen.

and that by him everyone who believes is absolved from all that the law of Moses never could absolve you from.

But certain individuals came down from Jerusalem and taught the brothers that "unless you get circumcised after the custom of Moses you cannot be saved."

But some of the believers who belonged to the Pharisaic party got up and said, "Gentiles must be circumcised and told to observe the law of Moses."

for Moses has had his preachers from the earliest ages in every town, where he is read aloud in the synagogues every sabbath."

Now, they have heard that you teach all Jews who live among Gentiles to break away from Moses and not to circumcise their children, nor to follow the old customs.

To this day I have had the help of God in standing, as I now do, to testify alike to low and high, never uttering a single syllable beyond what the prophets and Moses predicted was to take place.

So they fixed a day and came to him at his quarters in large numbers. From morning to evening he explained the Reign of God to them from personal testimony, and tried to convince them about Jesus from the law of Moses and the prophets.

Nevertheless, from Adam to Moses death reigned even over those whose sins were not like Adam's transgression. Adam prefigured Him who was to come,

God says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I choose to have mercy, I will have compassion on whom I choose to have compassion.

Moses writes of law-righteousness, Anyone who can perform it, shall live by it.

Then, I ask, "Did Israel not understand?" Why, first of all Moses declares, I will make you jealous of a nation that is no nation, I will provoke you to anger over a nation devoid of understanding.

It is written in the law of Moses, You must not muzzle an ox when he is treading the grain. Is God thinking here about cattle?

all were baptized into Moses by the cloud and by the sea,

Now if the administration of death which was engraved in letters of stone, was invested with glory ??so much so, that the children of Israel could not gaze at the face of Moses on account of the dazzling glory that was fading from his face;

Such being my hope then, I am quite frank and open ??13 not like Moses, who used to hang a veil over his face to keep the children of Israel from gazing at the last rays of a fading glory.

Yes, down to this day, whenever Moses is read aloud, the veil rests on their heart;

For these guides of theirs are hostile to the Truth, just as Jannes and Jambres were hostile to Moses; they are depraved in mind and useless for all purposes of faith.

he is faithful to Him who appointed him. For while Moses also was faithful in every department of God's house,

Jesus has been adjudged greater glory than Moses, inasmuch as the founder of a house enjoys greater honour than the house itself.

Besides, while Moses was faithful in every department of God's house as an attendant ??by way of witness to the coming revelation ??6 Christ is faithful as a Son over God's house. Now we are this house of God, if we will only keep confident and proud of our hope.

Who heard and yet provoked him? Was it not all who left Egypt under the leadership of Moses?

for it is evident that our Lord sprang from Judah, and Moses never mentioned priesthood in connexion with that tribe.

(men who serve a mere outline and shadow of the heavenly ??as Moses was instructed, when he was about to execute the building of the tabernacle: see, God said, that you make everything on the pattern shown you upon the mountain).

for after Moses had announced every command in the Law to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, together with water, scarlet wool and hyssop, sprinkling the book and all the people,

Anyone who has rejected the law of Moses dies without mercy, on the evidence of two or of three witnesses.

It was by faith that Moses was hidden for three months after birth by his parents, because they saw the child was beautiful, and had no fear of the royal decree.

It was by faith that Moses refused, when he had grown up, to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

(for they could not bear the command, If even a beast touches the mountain, it must be stoned) ??21 indeed, so awful was the sight that Moses said, I am terrified and aghast.

Now the very archangel Michael, when he disputed the body of Moses with Satan, did not dare to condemn him with scoffs; what he said was, The Lord rebuke you!

and they were singing the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb ??"Great and marvellous are thy deeds, Lord God almighty! Just and true thy ways, O King of nations!
