For all the prophets and the law prophesied of it until John: ??14 if you care to believe it, he is the Elijah who is to come.

They told him, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

There appeared to them Moses and Elijah, who conversed with Jesus.

So Peter addressed Jesus and said, "Lord, it is a good thing we are here; pray let me put up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

The disciples inquired of him, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?"

He replied, "Elijah to come and restore all things?

Nay, I tell you Elijah has already come, but they have not recognized him ??they have worked their will on him. And the Son of man will suffer at their hands in the same way."

On hearing this some of the bystanders said, "He is calling for Elijah."

But the others said, "Stop, let us see if Elijah does come to save him!" [Seizing a lance, another pricked his side, and out came water and blood.]

others said, "It is Elijah," others again, "It is a prophet, like one of the old prophets."

"John the Baptist," they told him, "though some say Elijah, and others say you are one of the prophets."

And Elijah along with Moses appeared to them, and conversed with Jesus.

So Peter addressed Jesus, saying, "Rabbi, it is a good thing we are here; let us put up three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"

So they put this question to him, "Why do the [Pharisees and] scribes say that Elijah has to come first?"

He said to them, "Elijah does come first, to restore all things; but what is written about the Son of man as well? This, that he is to endure great suffering and be rejected.

As for Elijah, I tell you he has come already, and they have done to him whatever they pleased ??as it is written of him."

On hearing this some of the bystanders said, "Look, he is calling for Elijah."

One man ran off, soaked a sponge in vinegar, and put it on the end of a stick to give him a drink, saying, "Come on, let us see if Elijah does come to take him down!"

he will go in front of Him with the spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of fathers to their children, turning the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make a people ready and prepared for the Lord."

I tell you for a fact, In Israel there were many widows during the days of Elijah, when the sky was closed for three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land:

yet Elijah was not sent to any of these, but only to a widow woman at Zarephath in Sidon.

some that Elijah had appeared, and others that one of the ancient prophets had arisen.

They replied, "John the Baptist, though some say Elijah and some say that one of the ancient prophets has arisen."

There were two men conversing with him, Moses and Elijah,

When they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is a good thing we are here; let us put up three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah" (not knowing what he was saying).

They asked him, "Then what are you? Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he answered.

so they asked him, saying, "Then why are you baptizing people, if you are neither the Christ nor Elijah nor the Prophet?"

God has not repudiated his People, his predestined People! Surely you know what scripture says in the passage called 'Elijah'? You know how he pleads with God against Israel:

Elijah was a man with a nature just like our own; but he offered prayer that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain;
