“ And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High God. You will go ahead of the Lord to prepare the way for him.

Herod wanted to kill John. But he was afraid of the people, because they thought John was a prophet.

But I tell you, Elijah has already come. People didn’t recognize him. They have done to him everything they wanted to do. In the same way, they are going to make the Son of Man suffer.”Then the disciples understood that Jesus was talking to them about John the Baptist.

Jesus replied,“ I will also ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.Where did John’s baptism come from? Was it from heaven? Or did it come from human authority?” They talked to one another about it. They said,“ If we say,‘ From heaven,’ he will ask,‘ Then why didn’t you believe him?’But what if we say,‘ From human authority’? We are afraid of the people. Everyone believes that John was a prophet.”

He will be important in the sight of the Lord. He must never drink wine or other such drinks. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born.He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God.And he will prepare the way for the Lord. He will have the same spirit and power that Elijah had. He will bring peace between parents and their children. He will teach people who don’t obey to be wise and do what is right. In this way, he will prepare a people who are ready for the Lord.”

Then they asked Jesus,“ Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah has to come first?”Jesus replied,“ That’s right. Elijah does come first. He makes all things new again. So why is it written that the Son of Man must suffer much and not be accepted?I tell you, Elijah has come. They have done to him everything they wanted to do. They did it just as it is written about him.”

All the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John came.If you are willing to accept it, John is the Elijah who was supposed to come.
