Jesus pointed this out after the transfiguration, when his disciples asked why the scribes said that Elijah must come first ​ — before the Messiah’s appearance.
Jeesus tõstis seda esile peale muutmist, mil jüngrid küsisid, miks kirjatundjad ütlevad, et esiteks — enne Messia tulemist — peab tulema Eelija.
