and if you are willing to accept it, John himself is the Elijah who was to come.

They answered, "Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

Then Moses and Elijah appeared to them and kept talking with Him.

And Peter interrupted, and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here! If you consent, I will put up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

The disciples asked Him, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

He answered, "Elijah does come and will get everything ready.

But I say to you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but treated him as they pleased. Just so the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands."

Some of the bystanders, when they heard it, said, "He is calling for Elijah."

But the others said, "Wait, let us see if Elijah does come to deliver Him."
