And he will go as forerunner before the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers back to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him."

But in truth I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in Elijah's days, when the sky was shut up three and a half years, and there was a great famine over all the land.

Yet Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to a woman who was a widow at Zarephath in Sidon.

while others were saying that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had risen.

They answered, "John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others that one of the prophets of long ago has risen."

Then two men, Moses and Elijah, began talking with him.

Then as the men were starting to leave, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah" -- not knowing what he was saying.
