others said, "It is Elijah," others again, "It is a prophet, like one of the old prophets."

"John the Baptist," they told him, "though some say Elijah, and others say you are one of the prophets."

And Elijah along with Moses appeared to them, and conversed with Jesus.

So Peter addressed Jesus, saying, "Rabbi, it is a good thing we are here; let us put up three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"

So they put this question to him, "Why do the [Pharisees and] scribes say that Elijah has to come first?"

He said to them, "Elijah does come first, to restore all things; but what is written about the Son of man as well? This, that he is to endure great suffering and be rejected.

As for Elijah, I tell you he has come already, and they have done to him whatever they pleased ??as it is written of him."

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

One man ran off, soaked a sponge in vinegar, and put it on the end of a stick to give him a drink, saying, "Come on, let us see if Elijah does come to take him down!"
