And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must first come?

See the chapter Copy

And if you will receive it, this is Elijah, who was to come.

And they said, Some say that you are John the Baptist: some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.

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

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

And they asked him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you that prophet? And he answered, No.

And they asked him, and said to him, Why do you baptize then, if you are not that Christ, nor Elijah, neither that prophet?
