Luke 9:30 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 9:30

And behold there talked with him two men
Of great note and fame:

which were Moses and Elias;
the one the giver of the law from God to the people "of Israel", as well as the redeemer of them from Egyptian bondage, and who led them through the wilderness, to the borders of Canaan's land; and the other a prophet famous for his zeal for God, and his worship, and who was translated, soul and body, to heaven: these appeared and talked with Christ on the mount; and what they talked of is mentioned in the following verse; (See Gill on Matthew 17:3).

Luke 9:30 In-Context

28 About a week after Yeshua said these things, he took Kefa, Yochanan and Ya`akov with him and went up to the hill country to pray.
29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed; and his clothing became gleaming white.
30 Suddenly there were two men talking with him -- Moshe and Eliyahu!
31 They appeared in glorious splendor and spoke of his exodus, which he was soon to accomplish in Yerushalayim.
32 Kefa and those with him had been sound asleep; but on becoming fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.
