GOSPEL

"Elijah has already come and they did not recognize him" (Mt 17, 10-13)

Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew

Coming down from the mountain,

the disciples asked Jesus,

“Why then do the scribes say

that the prophet Elijah must come first?

Jesus answered them, “

Elijah is coming

to put everything in its place.

But I tell you,

Elijah has already come;

instead of acknowledging

him, they did whatever they wanted to him.

And likewise the Son of Man will suffer through them.

Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them

of John the Baptist.
