“He is not the Baptist returned from the dead, but He is the One the Baptist has come to introduce. He is not Elijah, but He like the Baptist has come in the spirit and power of Elijah. The Baptist reenacted the preaching of Elijah, Jesus the miracles of Elijah. He is “one of the prophets” but far more; He is the Messiah prophesied by the prophets.”

— Grant R. Osborne, Luke: Verse By Verse

“When Christ bids a man to follow Him, He bids that man to come and die.”

— Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship
