Then Peter said to Jesus. "Master, it is good that we are here! If you are willing I will make here three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

"Nay, I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they chose. Even so the Son of man also is about to suffer at their hands."

When they heard this, some of the bystanders said "He is calling for Elijah!"

But the rest said: "Let be! Let us see whether Elijah is coming to save him!"
