Matthew 11:14: ""And if you are willing to accept it, he [John] is the Elijah who was to come."" Matthew 17:10-12: the disciples ask about the scribal teaching that Elijah must come first; Jesus responds that ""Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished."" Luke 1:17 describes John as coming ""in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children."" The identification is grounded in: (1) Malachi's explicit eschatological prophecy; (2) John's desert asceticism and camel-hair garment matching Elijah's description in 2 Kings 1:8; (3) his function as the forerunner who ""prepares the way."" At the Transfiguration (Matthew 17:3; Mark 9:4; Luke 9:30), Elijah appears alongside Moses as a representative of the prophetic tradition, with John-as-Elijah already having fulfilled the preparatory role.
