Matthew 17:10
Why then say the scribes, that Elijah must come first — Before the Messiah? If no man is to know of his coming? Should we not rather tell every man, that he is come, and that we have seen him, witnessing to thee as the Messiah? |
- Why:
Matthew 17:3-4 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. ... Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
Matthew 11:14 And if ye will receive [it], this is Elias, which was for to come.
Matthew 27:47-49 Some of them that stood there, when they heard [that], said, This [man] calleth for Elias. ... The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
Malachi 4:5-6 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: ... And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
Mark 9:11 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?
