And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and of the chief priests and of the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

And they asked him saying, Why do the scribes say that Elias must first have come?

And he answering said to them, Elias indeed, having first come, restores all things; and how is it written of the Son of man that he must suffer much, and be set at nought:

But when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be not disturbed, for this must happen, but the end is not yet.

and the gospel must first be preached to all the nations.
