Actually you were right (I did look it up). It was Peter who was asked,
"Who is the Son of Man?" (Son of Man is what Jesus refered to himself as.
A metaphor?) by Jesus, after JC had asked, "Who do the people say I am?"
and Peter said, "Some say you are Elijah, some say you are Moses, some say
John the Baptist."

Seems the Jews and early Christains believed in reicaration too.
