If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.

Matthew 14:3-11
For Herod had arrested John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.For John said to him,“ It is not lawful for you to have her.”When he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced among them and pleased Herod.Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.She, being prompted by her mother, said,“ Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptizer.”The king was grieved, but for the sake of his oaths, and of those who sat at the table with him, he commanded it to be given,and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.His head was brought on a platter, and given to the young lady; and she brought it to her mother.

Matthew 17:12-13
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.”Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptizer.

Mark 6:14-28
King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said,“ John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.”But others said,“ He is Elijah.” Others said,“ He is a prophet, or like one of the prophets.”But Herod, when he heard this, said,“ This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead.”For Herod himself had sent out and arrested John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, for he had married her.For John said to Herod,“ It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him, but she couldn’t,for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he did many things, and he heard him gladly.Then a convenient day came, that Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee.When the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young lady,“ Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”He swore to her,“ Whatever you shall ask of me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.”She went out, and said to her mother,“ What shall I ask?” She said,“ The head of John the Baptizer.”She came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked,“ I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptizer on a platter.”The king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths, and of his dinner guests, he didn’t wish to refuse her.Immediately the king sent out a soldier of his guard, and commanded to bring John’s head, and he went and beheaded him in the prison,and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young lady; and the young lady gave it to her mother.
