Thanks for the reply.

I am not familiar with Jewish customs, but I would guess that when Moses and Elijah appeared Jesus looked at them and said their name. Today if two of my friends popped in to say hello, I would say “Kris, Rick nice to see you.” The apostles were close enough to hear.

One might argue that the conversation that Jesus had with them wasn’t written down so they weren’t close enough to hear. True. But every thing Jesus said or did wasn’t written down.

My question is why? God was heard when Jesus was baptized. Also, what could solidify your faith more than the resurrection and ascension? So, what was the point of the transfiguration?

Mark

I vaguely remember something about this coming up on this website, I think, maybe at last year’s reflection about the Transfiguration. Maybe two years ago? But I don’t remember the answer, so not much help.

One thing that has always puzzled me about the Transfiguration is how the Apostles knew it was Moses and Elijah they were seeing along with Jesus? It’s not like they had pictures or paintings of them and no where does it say that Jesus told them it was Moses and Elijah. Anyone???
