"Some say John the Baptist," they replied; "others Elijah; others Jeremiah or one of the Prophets."

And suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to them conversing with Him.

Then Peter said to Jesus, "Master, we are thankful to you that we are here. If you approve, I will put up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

"Why then," asked the disciples, "do the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"

"Elijah was indeed to come," He replied, "and would reform everything.

"The man is calling for Elijah," said some of the bystanders.

while the rest said, "Let us see whether Elijah is coming to deliver him."

Others asserted that He was Elijah. Others again said, "He is a Prophet, like one of the great Prophets."

"John the Baptist," they replied, "but others say Elijah, and others, that it is one of the Prophets."

Moreover there appeared to them Elijah accompanied by Moses; and the two were conversing with Jesus,

when Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, we are thankful to you that we are here. Let us put up three tents--one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

They also asked Him, "How is it that the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"

"Elijah," He replied, "does indeed come first and reforms everything; but how is it that it is written of the Son of Man that He will endure much suffering and be held in contempt?

Yet I tell you that not only has Elijah come, but they have also done to him whatever they chose, as the Scriptures say about him."

Some of the bystanders, hearing Him, said, "Listen, he is calling for Elijah!"

Then a man ran to fill a sponge with sour wine, and he put it on the end of a cane and placed it to His lips, saying at the same time, "Wait! let us see whether Elijah will come and take him down."

and he will be His forerunner in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn fathers' hearts to the children, and cause the rebellious to walk in the wisdom of the upright, to make a people perfectly ready for the lord."

But I tell you in truth that there was many a widow in Israel in the time of Elijah, when there was no rain for three years and six months and there came a severe famine over all the land;

and yet to not one of them was Elijah sent: he was only sent to a widow at Zarephath in the Sidonian country.

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

"John the Baptist," they replied; "but others say Elijah; and others that some one of the ancient Prophets has come back to life."

And suddenly there were two men conversing with Him, who were Moses and Elijah.

And when they were preparing to depart from Him, Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, we are thankful to you that we are here. Let us put up three tents--one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." He did not know what he was saying.

"What then?" they inquired; "are you Elijah?" "I am not," he said. "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he answered.

Again they questioned him. "Why then do you baptize," they said, "if you are neither the Christ nor Elijah nor the Prophet?"

God has not cast off His People whom He knew beforehand. Or are you ignorant of what Scripture says in speaking of Elijah--how he pleaded with God against Israel, saying,

Elijah was a man with a nature similar to ours, and he earnestly prayed that there might be no rain: and no rain fell on the land for three years and six months.
