12. Jesus answered, “They are right to say that Elijah must come first and make everything the way it should be. But why does the Scripture say that the Son of Man will suffer much and that people will treat him as if he were nothing?
13. I tell you that Elijah has already come. And people did to him whatever they wanted to do, just as the Scriptures said it would happen.”
14. When Jesus, Peter, James, and John came back to the other followers, they saw a great crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them.
15. But as soon as the crowd saw Jesus, the people were surprised and ran to welcome him.
