⁵ Lo, I am sending to you Elijah the prophet, Before the coming of the day of Jehovah, The great and the fearful.

¹⁷ and he shall go before Him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn hearts of fathers unto children, and disobedient ones to the wisdom of righteous ones, to make ready for the Lord, a people prepared.'

¹⁷ because come did the great day of His anger, and who is able to stand?

¹¹ And they were questioning him, saying, that the scribes say that Elijah it behoveth to come first.

¹² And he answering said to them, `Elijah indeed, having come first, doth restore all things; and how hath it been written concerning the Son of Man, that many things he may suffer, and be set at nought?

¹³ But I say to you, That also Elijah hath come, and they did to him what they willed, as it hath been written of him.'

¹⁰ And his disciples questioned him, saying, `Why then do the scribes say that Elijah it behoveth to come first?'

¹¹ And Jesus answering said to them, `Elijah doth indeed come first, and shall restore all things,

¹² and I say to you -- Elijah did already come, and they did not know him, but did with him whatever they would, so also the Son of Man is about to suffer by them.'

¹³ Then understood the disciples that concerning John the Baptist he spake to them.

¹ Lo, I am sending My messenger, And he hath prepared a way before Me, And suddenly come in unto his temple Doth the Lord whom ye are seeking, Even the messenger of the covenant, Whom ye are desiring, Lo, he is coming, said Jehovah of Hosts.

³¹ The sun is turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, Before the coming of the day of Jehovah, The great and the fearful.

²¹ And they questioned him, `What then? Elijah art thou?' and he saith, `I am not.' -- `The prophet art thou?' and he answered, `No.'

¹ For, lo, the day hath come, burning as a furnace, And all the proud, and every wicked doer, have been stubble, And burnt them hath the day that came, Said Jehovah of Hosts, That there is not left to them root or branch,

³ A voice is crying -- in a wilderness -- Prepare ye the way of Jehovah, Make straight in a desert a highway to our God.

¹⁹ and I will give wonders in the heaven above, and signs upon the earth beneath -- blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke,

²⁰ the sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the day of the Lord -- the great and illustrious;

²⁵ and they questioned him and said to him, `Why, then, dost thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?'

³⁰ And lo, two men were speaking together with him, who were Moses and Elijah,

²⁶ `But what have ye gone forth to see? a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet:

²⁷ this is he concerning whom it hath been written, Lo, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee;

²⁸ for I say to you, a greater prophet, among those born of women, than John the Baptist there is not; but the least in the reign of God is greater than he.'

⁴⁷ And certain of those standing there having heard, said -- `Elijah he doth call;'

⁴⁸ and immediately, one of them having run, and having taken a spunge, having filled `it' with vinegar, and having put `it' on a reed, was giving him to drink,

⁴⁹ but the rest said, `Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come -- about to save him.'

¹³ for all the prophets and the law till John did prophesy,

¹⁴ and if ye are willing to receive `it', he is Elijah who was about to come;
