This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
This is Elijah (autos estin Eleias). Jesus here endorses John as the promise of Malachi. The people understood Mal 4:1 to mean the return of Elijah in person. This John denied as to himself (Joh 1:21). But Jesus affirms that John is the Elijah of promise who has come already (Mat 17:12). He emphasizes the point: “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.”
