Luke 9:30

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

And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias. Who, exclaims Bengel, would not have believed these were angels (compare ; ), had not their human names been subjoined? 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, because they "appeared," and audibly, because they "spake."
