Gospel Reading - John the Baptist was Elijah

thumb

10His disciples asked, “Why do the Jewish leaders insist Elijah must return before the Messiah comes?”a

11Jesus replied, “They are right. Elijah must come and set everything in order. 12And, in fact, he has already come, but he wasn’t recognized, and was badly mistreated by many. And I, the Messiah,b shall also suffer at their hands.”

13Then the disciples realized he was speaking of John the Baptist.

. . . . .Matthew 17:10-13
  1. Implied. Literally, “that Elijah must come first.”
  2. Literally, “the Son of Man.”

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father in heaven,
     hallowed be your name,
     your kingdom come,
     your will be done,
          on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
     as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
     and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
     now and for ever.
Amen.
