And they said, Some John Baptist; others Elijah; and others Jeremy, or one of the prophets.
And his disciples asked him, and said, What then say the scribes, that it behooveth that Elijah come first?
Others said, That it is Elijah; but others said, That it is a prophet, as one of the prophets.
Which answered to him, and said, Some say, John Baptist; others say, Elijah; and others say, as one of the prophets.
And they answered, and said, John Baptist, others say Elijah, and [or but] others say, one prophet of the former is risen.
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he said, I am not. Art thou a prophet? [or the prophet?] And he answered, Nay.
