Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ And they asked him, saying, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must first come? ¹² He said to them, Elijah does come first, to prepare everything; and as it is written concerning the Son of man, that he will suffer much and be rejected. ¹³ But I say to you, that Elijah has also come, and they did with him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him.
