Others were saying Elijah had come or one of the prophets from long ago had come back to life.

See the chapter Copy

Then when they asked him if he were Elijah, he said, “No, I am not!” And when they asked if he were the Prophet, he also said “No!”

They answered, “Some say you are John the Baptist or Elijah or a prophet from long ago who has come back to life.”

The disciples answered, “Some say you are John the Baptist or maybe Elijah. Others say you are one of the prophets.”

Others thought he was Elijah or some other prophet who had lived long ago.

The disciples asked Jesus, “Don't the teachers of the Law of Moses say Elijah must come before the Messiah does?”

The disciples answered, “Some people say you are John the Baptist or maybe Elijah or Jeremiah or some other prophet.”
