Matthew 17:10-13 And His disciples asked Him,

Question in the Bible

"Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

Answer in the Bible

And He answered and said, "Elijah is coming and will restore all things;

but I say to you that Elijah already came, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wished. So also the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands."

Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them about John the Baptist.

Malachi 4:5-6 "Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the LORD.

"He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and smite the land with a curse."

Matthew 11:11-15 "Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen anyone 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 suffers violence, and violent men take it by force.

"For all the prophets and the Law prophesied until John.

"And if you are wiling to accept it, John himself is Elijah who was to come.

"He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
