Others said, “It is Elijah.” And others said, “It is the Prophet, or like one of the prophets.”

So they answered, “John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.”

And Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.

Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—

And they asked Him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

Then He answered and told them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming first and restores all things. And how is it written concerning the Son of Man, that He must suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

But I say to you that Elijah has also come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him.”

Some of those who stood by, when they heard that, said, “Look, He is calling for Elijah!”

Then someone ran and filled a sponge full of sour wine, put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink, saying, “Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take Him down.”
