But others were saying, “He is Elijah.” And others were saying, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

They told Him, saying, “John the Baptist; and others say Elijah; but others, one of the prophets.”

Elijah appeared to them along with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.

Peter *said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tabernacles, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

They asked Him, saying, “Why is it that the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

And He said to them, “Elijah does first come and restore all things. And yet how is it written of the Son of Man that He will suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

But I say to you that Elijah has indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wished, just as it is written of him.”

When some of the bystanders heard it, they began saying, “Behold, He is calling for Elijah.”

Someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink, saying, “Let us see whether Elijah will come to take Him down.”
