New King James Version

Matthew 17:9-12 New King James Version (NKJV)

9. Now as they came down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man is risen from the dead.”

10. And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

11. Jesus answered and said to them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things.

12. But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise the Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands.”
