Riepilogo:This article clarifies Luke's portrayal of both John and Jesus as Elijah-like figures by considering how Malachi 3 was interpreted by Ben Sira, 4QMessianic Apocalypse (4Q521) and the LXX.

Luke's solution to the puzzle of Malachi 3 involved distinguishing between the Elijah of 1-2 Kings, who is associated with Jesus, and the Elijah of Malachi 3, who is consistently identified with John. the forerunner of the messianic "Lord".
