And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?

And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him.

and if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah that was to come.

Some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, said: This man calls for Elijah.

And they asked him, saying: Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?

And they asked him: What then? Are you Elijah? And he said: I am not. Are you the prophet? And he answered: No.

And they asked him, saying: Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?
