Matthew 17:10-13 And the disciples asked him,

Question in the Bible

"Then why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?"

Answer in the Bible

He answered, "Elijah does come, and he will restore all things.

But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they pleased. So also the Son of Man will certainly suffer at their hands."

Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist.

Malachi 4:5-6 "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes.

And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land with a decree of utter destruction."

Matthew 11:11-15 "Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.

For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John,

and if you willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come.

He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
