Matthew 17:10

English Majority Text Version

And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

See the chapter Copy

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

So they said, "Some say John the Baptist, but others say Elijah, and yet others say Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."

Jesus answered and said to them, " Elijah truly does come first, and shall restore all things.

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

And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."

And they asked him, saying, "Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
