Matthew 17:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ Then his ·followers [disciples] asked him, “Why do the ·teachers of the law [scribes] say that Elijah must come first [^Cthat is, before the Messiah comes; Mal. 3:1; 4:5]?”

¹¹ Jesus answered, “·They are right to say that Elijah is coming and that [^LElijah is indeed coming, and] he will ·make everything the way it should be [restore/prepare everything]. ¹² But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him. They did to him whatever they wanted to do. It will be the same with the Son of Man; those same people will make the Son of Man suffer.”
