They replied, “John the Immerser, but others Elijah, and others that some prophet from among the ancients has arisen.”
He said to his servants, “This is John the Immerser—he has risen from the dead! Because of this, these powers are at work in Him.”
In those days, John the Immerser came proclaiming in the wilderness of Judea,
King Herod heard, for Yeshua’s name had become known. Some were saying, “John the Immerser has risen from the dead! Because of this, these powers are at work in Him!”
But others were saying, “It’s Elijah!” Still others were saying, “It’s a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”
Once when Yeshua was praying alone and His disciples were near, He put a question to them, saying, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”
Then He said to them, “But who do you that say I am?” Then Peter answered and said, “The Messiah of God.”
“What then? Are you Elijah?” they asked him. “I am not,” said John. “Are you the Prophet?” “No,” he answered.
They asked him, “If you’re not the Messiah, Elijah, or the Prophet, why then are you immersing?”
When they heard these words, some of the crowd said, “This man really is the Prophet.”
Again they say to the blind man, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?” And he said, “He’s a prophet.”
