For all the prophets and the law prophesied of it until John: ??14 if you care to believe it, he is the Elijah who is to come.

They told him, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

There appeared to them Moses and Elijah, who conversed with Jesus.

So Peter addressed Jesus and said, "Lord, it is a good thing we are here; pray let me put up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

The disciples inquired of him, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?"

He replied, "Elijah to come and restore all things?

Nay, I tell you Elijah has already come, but they have not recognized him ??they have worked their will on him. And the Son of man will suffer at their hands in the same way."

On hearing this some of the bystanders said, "He is calling for Elijah."

But the others said, "Stop, let us see if Elijah does come to save him!" [Seizing a lance, another pricked his side, and out came water and blood.]
