Matthew 17:10

"How is it," his disciples asked, "that our Teachers of the Law say that Elijah has to come first?"

And--if you are ready to accept it--John is himself the Elijah who was destined to come.

And all at once Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus.

Some of those standing by heard this, and said: "The man is calling for Elijah!"

"How is it," they asked Jesus, "that our Teachers of the Law say that Elijah has to come first?"

"What then?" they asked. "Are you Elijah?" "No," he said, "I am not." "Are you 'the Prophet'?" He answered, "No."

And their next question was: "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor yet 'the Prophet'?"
