John the Baptist and Elijah

Mark 9:11-13

And they asked Him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
   Then He answered and told them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming first and restores all things. And how is it written concerning the Son of Man, that He must suffer many things and be treated with contempt? But I say to you that Elijah has also come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him.”

Matthew 11:14

And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is to come. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

Luke 1:17

He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

John 1:17-21

For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

    A Voice in the Wilderness

    Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”

   He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.”
   And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?”

  He said, “I am not.”
  “Are you the Prophet?”
  And he answered, “No.”

Malachi 4:5-6
