Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.

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

Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, "This man is calling Elijah."

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes.

They asked him, saying, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

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

They asked him, saying, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
