So these servants going out into the roads, collected all, as many as they found, both bad and good; and the wedding feast was fully furnished with guests.

Then Jesus answering said unto them, I also will ask you one question; and answer me; and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you a question; Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath-day, or to do evil? to preserve life or to destroy it?

Then he answering said to them, I also will ask you one question; and resolve me:

All, as many as have gone before me, are thieves and robbers: but the sheep hearkened not to them.

Then Jesus answering said unto them, Elias indeed cometh first, and will reform all things.

But I say unto you, That Elias is already come, and they knew him not, but have done by him whatsoever they chose: even so also must the Son of man suffer by them.

And when the disciples James and John saw it, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and destroy them, just as Elias did?

And they asked him, What then? art thou Elias? and he said, I am not. Art thou that prophet? and he answered, No.
