9. On their way down the mountain, Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what they had seen. They were to wait until the Son of Man had come back to life.
10. They kept in mind what he said but argued among themselves what he meant by “come back to life.”
11. So they asked him, “Don’t the experts in Moses’ Teachings say that Elijah must come first?”

13. Indeed, I can guarantee that Elijah has come. Yet, people treated him as they pleased, as Scripture says about him.”
14. When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them. Some experts in Moses’ Teachings were arguing with them.
15. All the people were very surprised to see Jesus and ran to welcome him.
16. Jesus asked the experts in Moses’ Teachings, “What are you arguing about with them?”
