What do you think about when the disciples were with him walking down the mountain after the configuration and said, "lord, we thought that Elijah was to appear before the messiah was to come. And Jesus said, " Elijah will come, and Elijah has already come, and he was not recognized, and they had their way with him. Immediately they understood that he spoke of John the Baptist.

Just wondered what you thought of that verse. Don't know exactly where it is.

Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things. But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise the Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands. Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptist.

The interesting part of that is 'elijah is coming first'. I don't know what he means cuz the next sentence contradicts it. I dunno.. I remember reading that quote before and being puzzled by it...
