Saint Matthew, Chapter 16.
v. 13. When Jesus came into the coasts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I, the Son of man, am?
v. 14. And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist; some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
The same account is given in Saint Luke, chapter 9, verses 18, 19.
Saint Matthew, Chapter 17.
v. 12. But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
v. 13. Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
He continued in Saint Matthew, Chapter 11.
v. 7. Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
v. 8. But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.
