8. They looked around. Suddenly they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.
9. They came down the mountain. On the way down, Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what they had seen. He told them to wait until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10. So they kept the matter to themselves. But they asked each other what "rising from the dead" meant.
11. Then they asked Jesus, "Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah has to come first?"
12. Jesus replied, "That's right. Elijah does come first. He makes all things new again. So why is it written that the Son of Man must suffer much and not be accepted?
13. I tell you, Elijah has come. They have done to him everything they wanted to do. They did it just as it is written about him."
14. When Jesus and those who were with him came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them. The teachers of the law were arguing with them.
15. When all the people saw Jesus, they were filled with wonder. And they ran to greet him.
