³⁵ And some of the bystanders hearing it said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.”

⁴⁷ And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.” ⁴⁸ And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with ^(A)sour wine, and put it on a reed and ^(B)gave it to him to drink. ⁴⁹ But the others said, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.”

¹¹ And they asked him, “Why do the scribes say ^(A)that first Elijah must come?” ¹² And he said to them, “Elijah does come first ^(B)to restore all things. And ^(C)how is it written of the Son of Man that he should ^(D)suffer many things and ^(E)be treated with contempt? ¹³ But I tell you that Elijah has come, and ^(F)they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him.”

¹¹ He answered, “Elijah does come, and ^(A)he will restore all things. ¹² But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but ^(B)did to him whatever they pleased. ^(C)So also the Son of Man will certainly suffer at their hands.” ^13 (D)Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist.
