הִנֵּה אָֽנֹכִי שֹׁלֵחַ לָכֶם אֵת אֵלִיָּה הַנָּבִיא לִפְנֵי בּוֹא יוֹם יְהוָה הַגָּדוֹל וְהַנּוֹרָֽא׃
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
נָבִיא מִקִּרְבְּךָ מֵֽאַחֶיךָ כָּמֹנִי יָקִים לְךָ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֵלָיו תִּשְׁמָעֽוּן׃
The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
καὶ εἰ θέλετε δέξασθαι αὐτός ἐστιν Ἠλίας ὁ μέλλων ἔρχεσθαι
And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
καὶ ἠρώτησαν αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ Τί οὖν βαπτίζεις εἰ σὺ οὐκ εἶ ὁ Χριστὸς οὔτε Ἠλίας οὔτε ὁ προφήτης
And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
οἱ δὲ εἰπον Οἱ μὲν Ἰωάννην τὸν βαπτιστήν ἄλλοι δὲ Ἠλίαν ἕτεροι δὲ Ἰερεμίαν ἢ ἕνα τῶν προφητῶν
And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
καὶ αὐτὸς προελεύσεται ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ἐν πνεύματι καὶ δυνάμει Ἠλίου ἐπιστρέψαι καρδίας πατέρων ἐπὶ τέκνα καὶ ἀπειθεῖς ἐν φρονήσει δικαίων ἑτοιμάσαι κυρίῳ λαὸν κατεσκευασμένον
And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ λέγοντες Τί οὖν οἱ γραμματεῖς λέγουσιν ὅτι Ἠλίαν δεῖ ἐλθεῖν πρῶτον
And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
πολλοὶ οὖν Ἐκ τοῦ ὄχλου ἀκούσαντες τὸν λόγον ἔλεγον Οὗτός ἐστιν ἀληθῶς ὁ προφήτης·
Many of the this people therefore, when they heard saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
ἀλλὰ τί ἐξήλθετε ἰδεῖν προφήτην ναί λέγω ὑμῖν καὶ περισσότερον προφήτου
But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
