"and, if you are willing to receive it, he is the Elijah who was to come.

They replied, "Some say 'John the Baptist'; others, however, say that 'He is Elijah'; others, 'Jeremiah,' or 'One of the Prophets.'"

And behold! Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus.

Then Peter said to Jesus. "Master, it is good that we are here! If you are willing I will make here three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

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

And he answered. "Elijah is coming, and will restore all things.

"Nay, I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they chose. Even so the Son of man also is about to suffer at their hands."

When they heard this, some of the bystanders said "He is calling for Elijah!"

But the rest said: "Let be! Let us see whether Elijah is coming to save him!"

"He is Elijah," said others. And still others were saying, "He is a prophet, like one of the old prophets."

And they told him. "Some say John the Baptist, others, Elijah, and others that you are one of the prophets."

Moreover there appeared to them Elijah, with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.

"Master," said Peter, addressing Jesus, "it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three tents one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

So they asked him, "How is it that the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"

"Elijah does indeed first come," he said, "and restores all things, But how is it written about the Son of Man, that he will endure great suffering, and be rejected?

"Elijah indeed has already come," he added, "and they have done to him whatever they pleased, even as it is written of him."

When they heard this, some of the bystanders said, "Listen, he is calling for Elijah."

Then a man ran and filled a sponge full of sour wine, and put it on a stick, and offered it to him to drink, saying, "Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down!"

"He shall go before Him in the wisdom and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, and so to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him."

In very truth I tell you there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens were closed for three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land;

"yet Elijah was not sent to any one of them, but only to a widow in Zarephath in Sidon.

and by some that Elijah had appeared; and by others that one of the ancient prophets was risen again.

"John the Baptist," they answered, "But others say Elijah, and others that one of the ancient prophets is risen again."

And suddenly there were two men talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah.

And when they were preparing to depart from him Peter said to Jesus. "Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"??ot knowing what he was saying.

And when his disciples, James and John, saw this they said, "Lord, are you willing for us to bid fire come down from heaven and destroy them?" As Elijah did.

"What then?" they questioned; "Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he replied.

so they questioned him, saying, "Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"

God did not cast off his people whom he foreknew. For do you not know what is said in the Scripture about Elijah? how he pleaded with God against Israel, saying,

Elijah was a man of like passions with us, and he prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
