Context of Matthew 17:9

7But Jesus touched them and said, “Get up, and don’t be afraid!” 8As they raised their heads, they saw no one but Jesus. On their way down the mountain, Jesus ordered them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen. Wait until the Son of Man has been brought back to life.” 10So the disciples asked him, “Why do the experts in Moses’ Teachings say that Elijah must come first?” 11Jesus answered, “Elijah is coming and will put everything in order again.
