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 Y le preguntaron, diciendo: ¿Por qué dicen los escribas que Elías debe venir primero?

12 Y El les dijo: Es cierto que Elías, al venir primero, restaurará todas las cosas. Y, sin embargo, ¿cómo está escrito del Hijo del Hombre que padezca mucho y sea despreciado?

13 Pero yo os digo que Elías ya ha venido, y le hicieron cuanto quisieron, tal como está escrito de él.

14 Cuando volvieron a los discípulos, vieron una gran multitud que les rodeaba, y a unos escribas que discutían con ellos.

15 Enseguida, cuando toda la multitud vio a Jesús, quedó sorprendida, y corriendo hacia El, le saludaban.
