Noun Ēlias (Elijah) in the New Testament

(Translation from NRSV)


Matthew

11: 14and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah (Ēlias) who is to come.
16: 14And they said, "Some say John the Baptist, but others Elijah (Ēlias), and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."
17: 3Suddenly there appeared to them Moses and Elijah (Ēlias), talking with him.
17: 4Then Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I will make three dwellings here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah (Ēlias)."
17: 10And the disciples asked him, "Why, then, do the scribes say that Elijah (Ēlias) must come first?"
17: 11He replied, "Elijah (Ēlias) is indeed coming and will restore all things;
17: 12but I tell you that Elijah (Ēlias) has already come, and they did not recognize him, but they did to him whatever they pleased. So also the Son of Man is about to suffer at their hands."
27: 47When some of the bystanders heard it, they said, "This man is calling for Elijah (Ēlias)."
27: 49But the others said, "Wait, let us see whether Elijah (Ēlias) will come to save him."

Mark

6: 15But others said, "It is Elijah (Ēlias)." And others said, "It is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old."
8: 28And they answered him, "John the Baptist; and others, Elijah (Ēlias); and still others, one of the prophets."
9: 4And there appeared to them Elijah (Ēlias) with Moses, who were talking with Jesus.
9: 5Then Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah (Ēlias)."
9: 11Then they asked him, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah (Ēlias) must come first?"
9: 12He said to them, "Elijah (Ēlias) is indeed coming first to restore all things. How then is it written about the Son of Man, that he is to go through many sufferings and be treated with contempt?
9: 13But I tell you that Elijah (Ēlias) has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written about him."
15: 35When some of the bystanders heard it, they said, "Listen, he is calling for Elijah (Ēlias)."
15: 36And someone ran, filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a stick, and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Wait, let us see whether Elijah (Ēlias) will come to take him down."

4: 26yet Elijah (Ēlias) was sent to none of them except to a widow at Zarephath in Sidon.
9: 8by some that Elijah (Ēlias) had appeared, and by others that one of the ancient prophets had arisen.
