Context of Mark 9:12
10And they kept the saying, questioning among themselves what the rising again from the dead should mean. 11And they asked him, saying, How is it that the scribes say that Elijah must first come? And he said unto them, Elijah indeed cometh first, and restoreth all things: and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be set at nought? 13But I say unto you, that Elijah is come, and they have also done unto him whatsoever they would, even as it is written of him. 14And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them.

Commentaries on Mark 9:12
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 12And how it is written - Rather, as also it is written. Instead of , And How it is written, I read , As Also it is written of the Son of man, etc. This reading is supported by AKM, seventeen others, the later Syriac in the margin, Slavonic and Armenian. Some think the propriety of adopting this reading is self-evident.Read the comment
