And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is to come.

So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

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

Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: 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 come first?”

Jesus answered and said to them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things.

But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise the Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands.”

Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, “This Man is calling for Elijah!”

The rest said, “Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to save Him.”
