And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:

And behold, there talked with him two men, who were Moses and Elijah;

And behold two men were talking with him. And they were Moses and Elias,

And lo, two men talked with him, who were Moses and Elias,

And lo, two men were speaking together with him, who were Moses and Elijah,

And suddenly there were two men conversing with Him, who were Moses and Elijah.

And two men, Moses and Elijah, were talking with him;

And behold, two men were talking with him. And these were Moses and Elijah, appearing in majesty.

And all at once two men were talking with Jesus; they were Moses and Elijah,

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.

there talked with him two men . . . Moses and Elias . . . appeared in glory--"Who would have believed these were not angels had not their human names been subjoined?" [BENGEL]. (Compare Acts 1:10; Mark 16:5). Moses represented "the law," Elijah "the prophets," and both together the whole testimony of the Old Testament Scriptures, and the Old Testament saints, to Christ; now not borne in a book, but by living men, not to a coming, but a come Messiah, visibly, for they "appeared," and audibly, for they "spake."
