³⁵ And some of those who were near, hearing it, said, See, he is crying to Elijah.

¹¹ And in answer he said, Elijah truly has to come and put all things right:

¹² But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they had no knowledge of him, but did to him whatever they were pleased to do; the same will the Son of man undergo at their hands.

¹³ Then the disciples saw that he was talking to them of John the Baptist.

⁴⁷ And some of those who were near by, hearing it, said, This man is crying to Elijah.

⁴⁸ And straight away one of them went quickly, and took a sponge, and made it full of bitter wine, and put it on a rod and gave him drink.

⁴⁹ And the rest said, Let him be; let us see if Elijah will come to his help.

¹¹ And they put a question to him, saying, Why do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?

¹² And he said to them, Truly, Elijah does come first, and puts all things in order; and how is it said in the Writings that the Son of man will go through much sorrow and be made as nothing?

¹³ But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they have done to him whatever they were pleased to do, even as the Writings say about him.
