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

And if ye are willing to receive it, he is the Elijah who was to come.

Some of those standing there, when they heard this, said, This man is calling for Elijah.

And they asked him, saying, How is it that the Pharisees and scribes say that Elijah must come first?

And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he said, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.

And they asked him, saying, How is it that the Pharisees and scribes say that Elijah must come first?
