10 They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the |rising from the dead| meant.

11 They asked him, saying, |Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?|

12 He said to them, |Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?

13 But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him.|
