Mark 9:11-13 At length they started this question, why do the Scribes say, that Elias must first come?

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ At length they started this question, why do the Scribes say, that Elias must first come? ¹² it is true, said he, that Elias must come beforehand to establish every thing, and that it was predicted of him, as well as of the son of man, that he should suffer very much, and be treated with contempt. ¹³ but I tell you, that Elias is already come, as it was foretold; and they have treated him at their discretion.
