Matthew 17:10

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Then Moses and Elijah also appeared before them, talking with him.

And if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah, who is to come.

When some of the bystanders heard it, they said, "This man is calling for Elijah."

Look, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the Lord arrives.

Then they asked him, "Why do the experts in the law say that Elijah must come first?"

So they asked him, "Then who are you? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not!" "Are you the Prophet?" He answered, "No!"

Then they asked him, "Why do the experts in the law say that Elijah must come first?"

while others were saying that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had risen.
