Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things being done by Him; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

and by others that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the ancient prophets had arisen.

And, behold, I will send to you Elijah the Tishbite, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes;

and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist; he has been raised from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him."

And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."

And they asked him, saying, "Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"

Others said, "He is Elijah." But others said, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets."

Therefore many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, "Truly this is the Prophet."

They said to the blind [man] again, "What do you say about Him because He opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."
