The disciples’ question about the prophet Elijah
After the transfiguration, the disciples ask Jesus about the prophecy concerning Elijah. Jesus reveals that John the Baptist fulfills this prophecy, a connection that the Gospels develop progressively.
Luke 1.17 (King James Version) :And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org

The authority of the Messiah Jesus challenged
In the Temple of Jerusalem, the religious leaders publicly challenge Jesus’ authority. With a clever counter-question about the baptism of John, he reduces them to silence and exposes their bad faith. This synoptic episode (Matt 21.23-27; Mark 11.27-33; Luke 20.1-8) illustrates the growing opposition of the authorities to the Messiah during his last week before the arrest.
Matthew 21.23-27 (King James Version) :And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org

Was John the Baptist the Elijah who was to come?
Jean Baptiste est considéré comme l'Élie prophétique par Jésus, indiquant une mission symbolique, mais il réfute cette identité littéralement, selon Jean 1:19-21. Cette distinction entre mission et identité personnelle clarifie une apparente contradiction biblique.
John 1.19-21 (King James Version) :And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org -

Did Herod want to kill John the Baptist?
L'article examine les Évangiles de Matthieu et Marc sur la question de savoir si Hérode Antipas voulait réellement tuer Jean-Baptiste. Chaque évangile présente une perspective différente mais complémentaire: Matthieu décrit le désir de mort d'Hérode tempéré par la peur de la foule, tandis que Marc souligne l'influence d'Hérodiade et la fascination d'Hérode pour Jean. Cette analyse montre un Hérode déchiré entre ses émotions et les pressions externes.
Mark 6.20 (King James Version) :For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
