Open this scene in the reader →9And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.”
10And the disciples asked him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
11He answered, “Elijah indeed is coming and will restore all things.”
12But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted. So also the Son of Man is about to suffer at their hands.
13Then the disciples understood that he had spoken to them about John the Baptist.
