Gospel : Matthew 17:9a, 10-13
9a As they were coming down from the mountain,
10 His disciples asked him, saying, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
11 Jesus answered them, "Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all things;
12 but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they didn't recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them."
13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptizer.

Sirach 48:1-4, 9-11☆
1 Until like fire a prophet appeared,his words a flaming furnace.
2 The staff of life, their bread, he shattered, and in his zeal he made them few in number.
3 By God's word he shut up the heavens and three times brought down fire.
4 How awesome are you, ELIJAH! Whose glory is equal to yours? You were taken aloft in a whirlwind, in a chariot with fiery horses.
10 You are destined, it is written, in time to come to put an end to wrath before the day of the LORD, To turn back the hearts of parents toward their children, and to re-establish the tribes of Israel.
11 Blessed is the one who shall have seen you before he dies!
