Context of Mark 9:12
10And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean. 11And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elijah must first come? And he answered and told them, Elijah verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written concerning the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be treated with contempt. 13But I say to you, That Elijah is indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they wished, as it is written concerning him. 14And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the 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

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 12The teachers of the law were correct that Elijah must come before the completion of God’s kingdom (the time when God fully establishes his rule). But Scripture also says that the Son of Man must suffer greatly (for example, Psalm 22; Isaiah 52:13–53:12).Read the comment
