Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

⁹ When they came down the hill, Jesus said to them, `Do not tell anyone what you saw. Do not tell it until after the Son of Man has been raised from death.'

¹⁰ So they kept these things to themselves, asking each other what he meant about rising from death.

¹¹ Then they asked Jesus, `Why do the scribes [who know all about the holy writings] say that first Elijah must come?'

¹² He said, `Elijah does come first. He will get everything ready. But why do the holy writings say that the Son of Man must have much trouble? They say, "He will have much trouble and the people will not respect him."

¹³ I tell you that Elijah has come. The people did to him just what they wanted to do. They did just as it is written about him.'
