Others said,“ He is Elijah.” And still others claimed,“ He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of long ago.”

But others said,“ He is Elijah.” And others said,“ He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

Others said,“ He’s the prophet Elijah.” Still others said,“ He’s a prophet like the other great prophets of the past.”

But others said,“ He’s Elijah.” Still others said,“ He’s a prophet, like one of the prophets from long ago.”

But others were saying,“ He is Elijah.” And others were saying,“ He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”

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

But others said, It is Elijah. And others said, It is a prophet, even as one of the prophets.

But others said,“ He’s Elijah.” Still others said,“ He’s a prophet— like one of the prophets.”

Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.

Others said,“ He is Elijah.” Others said,“ He is a prophet, like one of the prophets from the past.”

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

The crowds answered,“ This is Jesus. He is the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

They replied,“ Some say John the Baptist. Others say Elijah. Still others say one of the prophets.”

“ I will send the prophet Elijah to you. He will come before the day of the Lord arrives. It will be a great and terrifying day.

They replied,“ Some say John the Baptist. Others say Elijah. Still others say Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.”

They replied,“ Some say John the Baptist. Others say Elijah. Still others say that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.”

Others were saying that Elijah had appeared. Still others were saying that a prophet of long ago had come back to life.

They asked him,“ Then who are you? Are you Elijah?” He said,“ I am not.”“ Are you the Prophet we’ve been expecting?” they asked.“ No,” he answered.

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 turned again to the blind man.“ What do you have to say about him?” they asked.“ It was your eyes he opened.” The man replied,“ He is a prophet.”

asked him,“ If you are not the Messiah, why are you baptizing people? Why are you doing that if you aren’t Elijah or the Prophet we’ve been expecting?”

The disciples asked him,“ Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah has to come first?”Jesus replied,“ That’s right. Elijah is supposed to come and make all things new again.

The people were all filled with wonder and praised God.“ A great prophet has appeared among us,” they said.“ God has come to help his people.”

The Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this. He said to himself,“ If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him. He would know what kind of woman she is. She is a sinner!”

The people saw the sign that Jesus did. Then they began to say,“ This must be the Prophet who is supposed to come into the world.”

Some of those standing nearby heard Jesus cry out. They said,“ Listen! He’s calling for Elijah.”Someone ran and filled a sponge with wine vinegar. He put it on a stick. He offered it to Jesus to drink.“ Leave him alone,” he said.“ Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down.”

Moses said,‘ The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me. He will be one of your own people. You must listen to everything he tells you.Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from their people.’( Deuteronomy 18:15, 18, 19)

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.”

The people heard his words. Some of them said,“ This man must be the Prophet we’ve been expecting.”
