AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 17:12 but I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him as they wished. The Son of Man is also going to suffer at their hands." |
Bible Question: I would like to get some clarification on Matthew 17:11-13. I'm not understanding about Elijah coming back, and how it is connected to John the Baptist. Can someone clarify for me? Thanks. Kim |
Bible Answer: Kimmers, Take a look at 2 Kings 2:9-15 to see how Elisha received the "spirit" of Elijah. In a similar way John the baptist came "in the spirit of Elijah." Emmaus |
