Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes.
2
and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptizer. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him."
14
They said, "Some say John the Baptizer, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."
10
His disciples asked him, saying, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
15
But others said, "He is Elijah." Others said, "He is a prophet, or like one of the prophets."
28
They told him, "John the Baptizer, and others say Elijah, but others: one of the prophets."
8
and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
18
It happened, as he was praying alone, that the disciples were with him, and he asked them, "Who do the multitudes say that I am?"
19
They answered, "'John the Baptizer,' but others say, 'Elijah,' and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again."
21
They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the prophet?" He answered, "No."
12
There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "Not so, but he leads the multitude astray."
40
Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, "This is truly the prophet."
41
Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
17
Therefore they asked the blind man again, "What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."
Ceux qui le tenaient pour Elie ne pensaient pas que ce prophète eût reparu en Jean-Baptiste. (Matthieu 11.14 ; 17.10)
Jérémie, le prophète-martyr, qui avait présidé à la ruine de Jérusalem, joua un grand rôle dans la légende postérieure. D'après 2 Maccabées 2 :4 et suivants, il aurait caché l'arche et les ustensiles sacrés. L'idée de la réapparition des anciens prophètes était générale dans le judaïsme depuis l'exil. (1Ma 9 :27 4 :46 4 Esd 2 :18)
B. Weiss pense que ceux qui tenaient Jésus pour Jérémie ou l'un des prophètes, ne le regardaient pas comme le précurseur du Messie, et se distinguaient par là des premiers. Mais ces réapparitions d'anciens prophètes ne se rattachaient-elles pas toutes, dans la croyance populaire, à l'ère messianique ? (Comparer Jean 1.21 ; 7.40)
- On voit par cette réponse des disciples que, si plusieurs fois la multitude avait pressenti en Jésus un envoyé de Dieu, très peu cependant osaient le reconnaître comme le Messie et le Sauveur. La foi claire et ferme de Pierre (verset 16) est d'autant plus admirable.
