Then Jesus said to him, "See that you do not speak to anyone, but go, show yourself to a priest, and bring the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

Then Moses and Elijah also appeared before them, talking with him.

So Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, I will make three shelters -- one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

They said to him, "Why then did Moses command us to give a certificate of dismissal and to divorce her?"

Jesus said to them, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hard hearts, but from the beginning it was not this way.

"Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and father children for his brother.'

"The experts in the law and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat.

He told him, "See that you do not say anything to anyone, but go, show yourself to a priest, and bring the offering that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them."

For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'Whoever insults his father or mother must be put to death.'

Then Elijah appeared before them along with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.

So Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters -- one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

He answered them, "What did Moses command you?"

They said, "Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of dismissal and to divorce her."

"Teacher, Moses wrote for us: 'If a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, that man must marry the widow and father children for his brother.'

Now as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?

Now when the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, Joseph and Mary brought Jesus up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord

Then he ordered the man to tell no one, but commanded him, "Go and show yourself to a priest, and bring the offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

Then two men, Moses and Elijah, began talking with him.

Then as the men were starting to leave, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah" -- not knowing what he was saying.

But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the prophets; they must respond to them.'

He replied to him, 'If they do not respond to Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.'"

They asked him, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies leaving a wife but no children, that man must marry the widow and father children for his brother.

But even Moses revealed that the dead are raised in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.

Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things written about himself in all the scriptures.

Then he said to them, "These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled."

For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came about through Jesus Christ.

Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one Moses wrote about in the law, and the prophets also wrote about -- Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

"Do not suppose that I will accuse you before the Father. The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have placed your hope.

If you believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me.

But if you do not believe what Moses wrote, how will you believe my words?"

Then Jesus told them, "I tell you the solemn truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven.

Hasn't Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law! Why do you want to kill me?"

However, because Moses gave you the practice of circumcision (not that it came from Moses, but from the forefathers), you circumcise a male child on the Sabbath.

But if a male child is circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses is not broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?

In the law Moses commanded us to stone to death such women. What then do you say?"

They heaped insults on him, saying, "You are his disciple! We are disciples of Moses!

We know that God has spoken to Moses! We do not know where this man comes from!"

Moses said, 'The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must obey him in everything he tells you.

Then they secretly instigated some men to say, "We have heard this man speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God."

For we have heard him saying that Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses handed down to us."

At that time Moses was born, and he was beautiful to God. For three months he was brought up in his father's house,

So Moses was trained in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in his words and deeds.

When he saw one of them being hurt unfairly, Moses came to his defense and avenged the person who was mistreated by striking down the Egyptian.

The next day Moses saw two men fighting, and tried to make peace between them, saying, 'Men, you are brothers; why are you hurting one another?'

But the man who was unfairly hurting his neighbor pushed Moses aside, saying, 'Who made you a ruler and judge over us?

When the man said this, Moses fled and became a foreigner in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.

When Moses saw it, he was amazed at the sight, and when he approached to investigate, there came the voice of the Lord,

I am the God of your forefathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.' Moses began to tremble and did not dare to look more closely.

This same Moses they had rejected, saying, 'Who made you a ruler and judge?' God sent as both ruler and deliverer through the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

This is the Moses who said to the Israelites, 'God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers.'

saying to Aaron, 'Make us gods who will go in front of us, for this Moses, who led us out of the land of Egypt -- we do not know what has happened to him!'

Our ancestors had the tabernacle of testimony in the wilderness, just as God who spoke to Moses ordered him to make it according to the design he had seen.

and by this one everyone who believes is justified from everything from which the law of Moses could not justify you.

Now some men came down from Judea and began to teach the brothers, "Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."

But some from the religious party of the Pharisees who had believed stood up and said, "It is necessary to circumcise the Gentiles and to order them to observe the law of Moses."

For Moses has had those who proclaim him in every town from ancient times, because he is read aloud in the synagogues every Sabbath."

They have been informed about you -- that you teach all the Jews now living among the Gentiles to abandon Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or live according to our customs.

I have experienced help from God to this day, and so I stand testifying to both small and great, saying nothing except what the prophets and Moses said was going to happen:

They set a day to meet with him, and they came to him where he was staying in even greater numbers. From morning until evening he explained things to them, testifying about the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus from both the law of Moses and the prophets.

Yet death reigned from Adam until Moses even over those who did not sin in the same way that Adam (who is a type of the coming one) transgressed.

For he says to Moses: "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."

For Moses writes about the righteousness that is by the law: "The one who does these things will live by them."

But again I ask, didn't Israel understand? First Moses says, "I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; with a senseless nation I will provoke you to anger."

For it is written in the law of Moses, "Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain." God is not concerned here about oxen, is he?

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

But if the ministry that produced death -- carved in letters on stone tablets -- came with glory, so that the Israelites could not keep their eyes fixed on the face of Moses because of the glory of his face (a glory which was made ineffective),

and not like Moses who used to put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from staring at the result of the glory that was made ineffective.

But until this very day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their minds,

And just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these people -- who have warped minds and are disqualified in the faith -- also oppose the truth.

who is faithful to the one who appointed him, as Moses was also in God's house.

For he has come to deserve greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house deserves greater honor than the house itself!

Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that would be spoken.

For which ones heard and rebelled? Was it not all who came out of Egypt under Moses' leadership?

For it is clear that our Lord is descended from Judah, yet Moses said nothing about priests in connection with that tribe.

The place where they serve is a sketch and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary, just as Moses was warned by God as he was about to complete the tabernacle. For he says, "See that you make everything according to the design shown to you on the mountain."

For when Moses had spoken every command to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats with water and scarlet wool and hyssop and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

Someone who rejected the law of Moses was put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

By faith, when Moses was born, his parents hid him for three months, because they saw the child was beautiful and they were not afraid of the king's edict.

By faith, when he grew up, Moses refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,

In fact, the scene was so terrifying that Moses said, "I shudder with fear."

But even when Michael the archangel was arguing with the devil and debating with him concerning Moses' body, he did not dare to bring a slanderous judgment, but said, "May the Lord rebuke you!"

They sang the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb: "Great and astounding are your deeds, Lord God, the All-Powerful! Just and true are your ways, King over the nations!
