Matthew 11:14

11:14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah, who is to come.

Matthew 17:3

17:3 Then Moses ¹  and Elijah ²  also appeared before them, talking with him.

Matthew 17:11

17:11 He ³  answered, “Elijah does indeed come first and will restore all things.

[17:3]  ¹ tn Grk “And behold, Moses.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

[17:3]  ² sn Commentators and scholars discuss why Moses and Elijah are present. The most likely explanation is that Moses represents the prophetic office (Acts 3:18-22) and Elijah pictures the presence of the last days (Mal 4:5-6), the prophet of the eschaton (the end times).

[17:11]  ¹ tn Grk “And answering, he said.” This has been simplified in the translation.
