By St. John Chrysostom
Christ brings before them the one who had died (Moses) and one that had not yet died (Elijah). Both had lost their life, and found it. For both the one and the other had courageously withstood a tyrant: one the Egyptian, the other Ahab; and this on behalf of a people who were both ungrateful and disobedient.
Both were simple, unlearned men. One was slow of speech and weak of voice, the other a rough countryman. And both were men who had despised the riches of this world. For Moses possessed nothing. And Elijah had nothing but his sheepskin. And this too when they were yet under the old law, and had the privilege of seeing signs and wonders. And though Moses had divided the sea in two, Peter had walked upon the waters, and could move mountains. And if Elijah had raised a dead man to life, these raised thousands, though they had not yet received the Holy Spirit.
Christ brought these men before the disciples, for he wished them to imitate their courage of soul, and their steadfastness in leading their people; and so that they might be gentle as Moses, and possessed of the zeal of Elijah, and as devoted as both were. He brought all this before their mind through this vision. He brought these before them in glory; and not alone that they might be as they were, but that they might surpass them. That Christ might uplift their courage against all such dangers, he here brings before them those two men who were such shining lights of the Old Testament.
