So they answered and said, "John the Baptist, but some [say] Elijah; and others [say] that one of the old prophets has risen again."

And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

Others said, "It is Elijah." And others said, "It is the Prophet, or like one of the prophets."

So they answered, "John the Baptist; but some [say,] Elijah; and others, one of the prophets."

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