Mark 9:11-13
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
11 And they were questioning Him, saying “Why is it that the scribes say that Elijah must come first[a]?” 12 And the One said to them, “Elijah, having come first, restores all things— and-yet how has it been written for[b] the Son of Man that He would suffer many things and be treated-with-contempt[c]? 13 But I say to you that Elijah indeed has come[d], and they did to him whatever they were wanting, just as it has been written for him”.

- Mark 9:11 Since You are the Messiah, where is Elijah. Mal 4:5 says he comes before You.
- Mark 9:12 That is, as destined to occur to.
- Mark 9:12 Or, despised. If Elijah restores all things and Messiah comes in glory, how can this be true also?
- Mark 9:13 Jesus may mean Elijah is coming in the future, but already came in John the Baptist; there are two comings of Elijah, just as with the Messiah. Or, He may mean Elijah is coming as the scribes correctly teach, but in fact has already come in John; Elijah came in an unexpected manner, just as the Messiah did. Compare Mt 17:11.
