Bible verse
And they asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
Mark 9:11 · BSB
The verses around it, from Mark 9.
7 Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him!”
8 Suddenly, when they looked around, they saw no one with them except Jesus.
9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus admonished them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10 So they kept this matter to themselves, discussing what it meant to rise from the dead.
11 And they asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
12 He replied, “Elijah does indeed come first, and he restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected?
13 But I tell you that Elijah has indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they wished, just as it is written about him.”
14 When they returned to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.
15 As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were filled with awe and ran to greet Him.
