- Elias:
- "Andª hisª disciplesª askedª° him,ª saying,ª° Whyª thenª sayª° the¹ scribesª thatª Eliasª mustª° firstª come?ª° ... Thenª the¹ disciplesª understoodª° thatª he spakeª° unto themª ofª Johnª the¹ Baptist.ª" {Mtt 17:10-13} + "And Elijahª the Tishbite,ª [who was] of the inhabitantsª¹ of Gilead,ª saidª° unto¹ Ahab,ª [As] the LORDª Godª of Israelª liveth,ª beforeª whom¹ I stand,ª° there shall not¹ be¹ dewª nor rainª these¹ years,ª but¹¹ accordingª to my word.ª" {1Kg 17:1} + "And it came to pass¹ at [the time of] the offeringª° of the [evening] sacrifice,ª that Elijahª the prophetª came near,ª° and said,ª° LORDª Godª of Abraham,ª Isaac,ª and of Israel,ª let it be knownª° this dayª that¹ thou¹ [art] Godª in Israel,ª and [that] I¹ [am] thy servant,ª and [that] I have doneª°¹ all¹ these¹ things¹ at thy word.ª ... And Elijahª saidª° unto them, Takeª°¹ the prophetsª of Baal;ª let not¹ oneª of them¹ escape.ª° And they tookª° them: and Elijahª brought them downª° to¹ the brookª Kishon,ª and slewª° them there.¹" {1Kg 18:36-40} + "And it came to pass,¹ as they¹ still²° went on,ª° and talked,ª° that, behold,¹ [there appeared] a chariotª of fire,ª and horsesª of fire,ª and partedª° them bothª asunder;ª and Elijahª went upª° by a whirlwindª into heaven.ª ... And he tookª°¹ the mantleª of Elijahª that¹ fellª° from¹¹ him, and smoteª°¹ the waters,ª and said,ª° Where¹ [is] the LORDª Godª of Elijah?ª and when he¹ also¹ had smittenª°¹ the waters,ª they partedª° hither¹ and thither:¹ and Elishaª went over.ª°" {2Kg 2:11-14} + "Behold,¹ I¹ will sendª° you¹ Elijahª the prophetª beforeª the comingª° of the greatª and dreadfulª° dayª of the LORD:ª" {Mal 4:5}, Elijah, "Andª heª shall goª° beforeª himª in² the spiritª andª powerª of Elias,ª to turnª° the heartsª of the fathersª toª the children,ª andª the disobedientª toª the wisdomª of the just;ª to make readyª° a peopleª preparedª° for the Lord.ª" {Lke 1:17} + "Andª it came to pass,ª° as² theyª departedª° fromª him,ª Peterª saidª° untoª Jesus,ª Master,ª it isª° goodª for usª to beª° here:ª andª let us makeª° threeª tabernacles;ª one¹ for² thee,ª andª one¹ for² Moses,ª andª one¹ for² Elias:ª notª knowingª° whatª he said.ª°" {Lke 9:33} + "The¹ lawª andª the¹ prophetsª [were] untilª John:ª sinceª that timeª the¹ kingdomª of Godª is preached,ª° andª every manª pressethª° intoª it.ª" {Lke 16:16}
