Matthew 17:10-13 "Why then do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?" One Year Chronological NIV


Matthew 17:10-13 (October 17) The disciples asked him.

Question in the Bible

"Why then do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?"

Answer in the Bible

Jesus replied, "To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things.

But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands."

Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them about John the Baptist.

Malachi 4:5-6 (September 27) "See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes.

He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse."

Matthew 11:11-15 (October 8) I tell you the truth; Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he 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 been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it.

For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.

And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.

He who has ears, let him hear.
