11And they asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
12He replied, “Elijah does indeed come first, and he restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected?
13But I tell you that Elijah has indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they wished, just as it is written about him.”
— Mark 9:11-13
