Matthew 17:10-13 And His disciples asked Him, saying, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ And His disciples asked Him, saying, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first? ¹¹ And answering Jesus said to them, Elijah truly shall come first and restore all things. ¹² But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him, but have done to him whatever they desired. Likewise also the Son of Man shall suffer from them. ¹³ Then His disciples understood that He spoke to them about John the Baptist.
