And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
Ver. 31. And spake of his decease] Gr. of his exodus; in reference to that expedition or departure of Israel out of Egypt (την εξοδον). It signifieth a translating from a condition and state of hardship; and is also used by St Peter, 2 Peter 1:15. Death to the saints is but an out going to heaven, Philippians 1:21, a loosing from the shore of life, and launching out into the main of immortality.
