Day 47 - Chapter 9, Verses 11-13

Then they asked him, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?" He told them, "Elijah will indeed come first and restore all things, yet how is it written regarding the Son of Man that he must suffer greatly and be treated with contempt? But I tell you that Elijah has come and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him."

The intent here is for us to see John the Baptist as Elijah. John was the last of the Hebrew prophets, in the Christian tradition.

Do we listen to prophets in our own day? Do you listen to those who try to proclaim the truth in your life?
