James Moffatt - New Testament

some that Elijah had appeared, and others that one of the ancient prophets had arisen.

See the chapter Copy

They asked him, "Then what are you? Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he answered.

They replied, "John the Baptist, though some say Elijah and some say that one of the ancient prophets has arisen."

"John the Baptist," they told him, "though some say Elijah, and others say you are one of the prophets."

others said, "It is Elijah," others again, "It is a prophet, like one of the old prophets."

The disciples inquired of him, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?"

They told him, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."
