And by others that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the prophets of old had come back to life.

See the chapter Copy

They asked him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not! Are you the Prophet? And he answered, No! [Deut. 18:15, 18; Mal. 4:5.]

And they answered, John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah; and others, that one of the ancient prophets has come back to life.

And they answered [Him], John the Baptist; and others [say], Elijah; but others, one of the prophets.

[But] others kept saying, It is Elijah! And others said, It is a prophet, like one of the prophets [of old].

The disciples asked Him, Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?

And they answered, Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.
