Context of Mark 9:12
10And they kept that saying, questioning among themselves, what rising from among [the] dead was. 11And they asked him saying, Why do the scribes say that Elias must first have come? And he answering said to them, Elias indeed, having first come, restores all things; and how is it written of the Son of man that he must suffer much, and be set at nought: 13but I say unto you that Elias also is come, and they have done to him whatever they would, as it is written of him. 14And when he came to the disciples he saw a great crowd around them, and scribes disputing against 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
