Context of Mark 9:13

11So they asked him, “Don’t the experts in Moses’ Teachings say that Elijah must come first?” 12Jesus said to them, “Elijah is coming first and will put everything in order again. But in what sense was it written that the Son of Man must suffer a lot and be treated shamefully? Indeed, I can guarantee that Elijah has come. Yet, people treated him as they pleased, as Scripture says about him.” 14When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them. Some experts in Moses’ Teachings were arguing with them. 15All the people were very surprised to see Jesus and ran to welcome him.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 13The teachers of the law made a mistake by not realizing that Elijah had already come (see Matthew 17:11–13; compare Malachi 4:5–6). Because of this, they did not recognize that the kingdom of God had already arrived. They also failed to realize that the Messiah's suffering and death, which were predicted in Scripture, were about to take place.Read the comment
