Marcos 9:13 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 9:13

But I say unto you, that Elias is indeed come
Meaning John the Baptist, who in prophecy is designed by him.

And they have done unto him whatsoever they listed;
(See Gill on Matthew 17:12); which words should be read in a parenthesis, as they are in the Vulgate Latin version; for what follows, as

it is written of him,
respects not what the Scribes and Pharisees, and the people of the Jews did to John at their pleasure; despising his ministry and message, rejecting the counsel of God delivered by him, and remaining impenitent and unbelieving, notwithstanding his powerful and awakening ministry, with many other things, which are no where written of him; but the words regard his coming, and the prophecies concerning him, and particularly, that under the name of Elijah, in ( Malachi 4:5 ) and which had had their accomplishment.

Marcos 9:13 In-Context

11 Entonces le preguntaron:
—¿Por qué los maestros de la ley religiosa insisten en que Elías debe regresar antes de que venga el Mesías?

12 Jesús contestó:

13 Pero les digo, Elías ya vino, y ellos prefirieron maltratarlo, tal como lo predijeron las Escrituras.

14 Jesús sana a un muchacho endemoniado
Cuando regresaron adonde estaban los demás discípulos, vieron que los rodeaba una gran multitud y que algunos maestros de la ley religiosa discutían con ellos.

15 Cuando la multitud vio a Jesús, todos se llenaron de asombro y corrieron a saludarlo.
