Matthew 17:10-13

10 And His disciples asked Him, "Why then do the scribes say that ¹Elijah must come first?"

11 And He answered and said, "Elijah is coming and will restore all things;

12 but I say to you that Elijah already came, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wished. So also ²the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands."

13 Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them about John the Baptist.
