Matthew 17:10-12

MLV(i) 10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Therefore why do the scribes say that it is essential for Elijah to come first?
11 Now Jesus answered and said to them, Indeed Elijah comes first and will be restoring all things. 12 But I am saying to you, that Elijah already came, and they did not recognize him, but did as many things as they wished to him. So the Son of Man is also about to suffer by them.
