1And Elias the prophet stood up, as a fire, and his word burnt like a torch.

2He brought a famine upon them, and they that provoked him in their envy, were reduced to a small number, for they could not endure the commandments of the Lord.

3By the word of the Lord he shut up the heaven, and he brought down fire from heaven thrice.

4Thus was Elias magnified in his wondrous works. And who can glory like to thee?

9Who wast taken up in a whirlwind of fire, in a chariot of fiery horses.

10Who art registered in the judgments of times to appease the wrath of the Lord, to reconcile the heart of the father to the son, and to restore the tribes of Jacob.

11Blessed are they that saw thee, and were honoured with thy friendship.

2Give ear, O thou that rulest Israel: thou that leadest Joseph like a sheep. Thou that sittest upon the cherubims, shine forth

3Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasses. Stir up thy might, and come to save us.

15Turn again, O God of hosts, look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vineyard:

16And perfect the same which thy right hand hath planted: and upon the son of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself.

18Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand: and upon the son of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself.

19And we depart not from thee, thou shalt quicken us: and we will call upon thy name.

4As it was written in the book of the sayings of Isaias the prophet: A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.

6And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

9And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying: Tell the vision to no man, till the Son of man be risen from the dead.

10And his disciples asked him, saying: Why then do the scribes say that Elias must come first?

11But he answering, said to them: Elias indeed shall come, and restore all things.

12But I say to you, that Elias is already come, and they knew him not, But have done unto him whatsoever they had a mind. So also the Son of man shall suffer from them.

13Then the disciples understood, that he had spoken to them of John the Baptist.
