And they said, Some, John the Baptist; others, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
And the disciples asked him, saying, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must first come? And he answered and said, Elijah indeed comes, and shall restore all things. But I tell you Elijah has come already, and they knew him not, but did to him what they pleased. In like manner, also, the Son of man is about to suffer from them.
And he said to them, Elijah comes first, and restores all things; as also it is written of the Son of man, That he shall suffer many things, and be set at naught; but I tell you, that Elijah has come, and they have done to him what they wished, as it was written of him.
And they asked him, What then? are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you the prophet? And he answered, No. Then they said to him, Who are you? that we may give an answer to them that sent us; what say you of yourself? He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as Isaiah the prophet said. read more.
