Matthew Poole and continuators on Mark 9:10

10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another, what the rising from the dead should mean.

Both Matthew and Luke, as well as Mark bear record to the Truth of this History. See the Notes on Matth. Ch. 17.1. Our Saviour was pleased thus to fortify these three of his Disciples against his Passion, which they were soon to see. And also to confirm their Faith as to his Divine Nature; why Moses and Elias, rather then any others appeared, is but a curious question of no great use to us, if resolved, and not possible to be resolved. These three Disciples, by this Apparition saw our Saviour owned by Moses, who gave the Law, and by Elias in great repute both of them with the Jews. The three Disciples could know neither of them (dead many hundreds of years before they were in being) but by Revelation: probably Christ told them who they were, what their Discourse with Christ was in the general, Matthew telleth us. There is no considerable thing in this Evangelists Relation, which we did not meet with in Matthew, which may supersede any further Labo[illegible: 1 letter]r about it here,
