And they answered [Him], John the Baptist; and others [say], Elijah; but others, one of the prophets.
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes. [Matt. 11:14; 17:10-13.]
And he said to his attendants, This is John the Baptist; He has been raised from the dead, and that is why the powers of performing miracles are at work in Him.
And they answered, Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.
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.]
