8. At once the disciples looked around, but they saw only Jesus.
9. As Jesus and his disciples were coming down the mountain, he told them not to say a word about what they had seen, until the Son of Man had been raised from death.
10. So they kept it to themselves. But they wondered what he meant by the words “raised from death”.
11. The disciples asked Jesus, “Don't the teachers of the Law of Moses say that Elijah must come before the Messiah does?”
12. Jesus answered:Elijah certainly will come to get everything ready. But don't the Scriptures also say that the Son of Man must suffer terribly and be rejected?
13. I can assure you that Elijah has already come. And people treated him just as they wanted to, as the Scriptures say they would.
14. When Jesus and his three disciples came back down, they saw a large crowd around the other disciples. The teachers of the Law of Moses were arguing with them.
