But others said he was Elijah, and still others that he was a prophet of the old prophetic kind.

They said to him, "John the Baptist; others say Elijah, and others that you are one of the prophets."

And Elijah appeared to them, accompanied by Moses, and they talked with Jesus.

Then Peter spoke, and said to Jesus, "Master, how good it is that we are here! Let us put up three huts, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah."

And they asked him, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?"

He said to them, "Elijah does come first, and reforms everything, and does not the Scripture say of the Son of Man that he will suffer much and be refused?

Why, I tell you, not only has Elijah come, but people have treated him just as they pleased, as the Scripture says about him."

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

One man ran off and soaked a sponge in common wine, and put it on the end of a stick and held it up to him to drink, saying, "Let us see whether Elijah does come to take him down!"
