The nominative form names the figure who was sent to a widow in Luke 4:26 and who appeared with Moses in Matthew 17:3. In Mark 9:13, the same nominative form is the subject of the statement that he has come; accusative forms occur in questions and reports that identify or compare someone with him, as in John 1:21 and Mark 8:28.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB consistently presents the name as “Elijah,” including questions about whether someone is Elijah, reports of his appearance, and statements about his coming. Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, this consistency confirms the verse-level identification without isolating every grammatical contribution of the Greek form.
