You answered one of my burning questions — why the mention of “after six days.” I think being Gentiles, we often miss the references to Israel’s history but Jews of Jesus’ day certainly wouldn’t have!
So my second burning question is: without photos or paintings, how did the disciples recognize Moses and Elijah?

That’s Strauss’s question too! All joke aside, I don’t know the answer, but it’s that kind of question that makes historical critics go, “Hmmm.”
Makes me go “hmm” as well. My guess is it was revealed to them spiritually but that seems too simple an answer yet profound?
