Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Moses and Elijah appeared, and they were talking to him.

If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.

After hearing it some said this man calls Elijah.

Behold! I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible Day of Jehovah comes.

Then they asked him how is it that the scribes say that Elijah must first come?

They asked him: Are you Elijah? He said: I am not. Are you the prophet? He answered: No.

Then they asked him how is it that the scribes say that Elijah must first come?

Others said that Elijah had appeared and others and that one of the old prophets had risen again.
