Matthew 17:10-12 And his disciples asked him, and said, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ And his disciples asked him, and said, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first? ¹¹ Jesus answered and said to them, Elijah will come first, so that everything might be fulfilled. ¹² But I say to you, Elijah has already come, and they did not know him, and they did to him whatever they pleased. Thus also the Son of man is bound to suffer from them.
