If you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come.

They said, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus.

Then Peter told Jesus, "Lord, it's good that we're here! If you want, I'll set up three shelters one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

So the disciples asked him, "Why, then, do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

He answered them, "Elijah is indeed coming and will restore all things.

But I tell you that Elijah has already come, yet people did not recognize him and treated him just as they pleased. In the same way, the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands."

When some of the people standing there heard this, they said, "He's calling for Elijah."

But the others kept saying, "Wait! Let's see if Elijah will come and save him."

Others were saying, "He is Elijah." Still others were saying, "He is a prophet like one of the other prophets."

They answered him, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and still others one of the prophets."

Then Elijah appeared to them, accompanied by Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.

Then Peter told Jesus, "Rabbi, it's good that we're here! Let's set up three shelters one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

So they asked him, "Don't the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

He told them, "Elijah is indeed coming first and will restore all things. Why, then, is it written that the Son of Man must suffer a great deal and be treated shamefully?

But I tell you that Elijah has come, yet people treated him just as they pleased, as it is written about him."

When some of the people standing there heard this, they said, "Listen! He's calling for Elijah!"

So someone ran and soaked a sponge in some sour wine. Then he put it on a stick and offered Jesus a drink, saying, "Wait! Let's see if Elijah comes to take him down!"

He is the one who will go before the Lord with the spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, and to prepare the people to be ready for the Lord."

I'm telling you the truth there were many widows in Israel in Elijah's time, when it didn't rain for three years and six months and there was a severe famine everywhere in the land.

Yet Elijah wasn't sent to a single one of those widows except to one at Zarephath in Sidon.

by others that Elijah had appeared, and by still others that one of the ancient prophets had come back to life.

They answered, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and still others one of the ancient prophets who has come back to life."

Suddenly, two men were talking with him. They were Moses and Elijah.

Just as Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter told Jesus, "Master, it's good that we're here! Let's set up three shelters one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." (Peter didn't know what he was saying.)

So they asked him, "Well then, are you Elijah?" John said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" He answered, "No."

They asked him, "Why, then, are you baptizing if you are not the Messiah, or Elijah, or the Prophet?"

God has not rejected his people whom he chose long ago. Do you not know what the Scripture says in the story about Elijah, when he pleads with God against Israel?

Elijah was a person just like us, and he prayed earnestly for it not to rain, and rain never came to the land for three years and six months.
