And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Eli´jah must first come?
And if ye will receive it, this is Eli´jah, which was for to come.
And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist; some, Eli´jah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Eli´jah truly shall first come, and restore all things.
And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Eli´jah must first come?
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Eli´jah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, No.
And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Eli´jah, neither that Prophet?
