Scholars generally agree that Moses and Elijah appear at the Transfiguration because they are connected to each other in some way, and that this connection informs the significance of the story as a whole. However, there is no consensus regarding how Moses and Elijah are related, and consequently there is significant disagreement about how their presence contributes to the Transfiguration. The present study, which focuses on Mark's account (Mark 9.2–8), argues that Moses and Elijah appear together because they received similar theophanies at Mount Sinai and, as a result, the Transfiguration should be read as a mountaintop theophany in which Jesus constitutes the personal presence of Israel's God.

摩西、以利亚和耶稣的神圣荣耀（马可福音 9.2-8）

学者们普遍认为，摩西和以利亚出现在显圣容中是因为他们以某种方式相互联系，这种联系体现了整个故事的重要性。然而，对于摩西和以利亚的关系如何，并没有达成共识，因此，对于他们的存在如何促进显圣容，存在着重大分歧。本研究重点关注马可的记述（马可福音 9.2-8），认为摩西和以利亚一起出现是因为他们在西奈山接受了类似的神显，因此，变形应该被解读为耶稣在山顶上的神显。以色列神的亲自临在。
