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

When some of those standing there heard this, they said, "This man is calling Elijah."

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

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